We checked into the other Platinum projects:  Under LEED NC 2.2 (our version) there are 12 Platinum in the U.S. as of last month, and we are the first in Montana.  Under the previous version (NC 2.1) there are 46 in the U.S., including 1 in Billings (“Home on the Range” is the name).  So we are in rare company indeed.

To learn more about the LEED certification program, visit the U.S. Green Building Council website.
