I agree with the writer that actually certifying LEED is a big difference from just "qualifying". Here's hoping they go the full measure, all the way around! After all, what better for an Olympic venue than Gold? :) Looks like an excellent proposition given that hosting the Olympics can be a devastating venture to the city’s environment, both pre- and post-event.
