We congratulated Shelley from Boston, MA, our big winner of the Green Photo of the Month contest, with a $50 prize! Shelley was in Baltimore for work and she realized that the Fairfield Inn she was staying at was a LEED-certified hotel. In fact, it is the first LEED-certified hotel in Baltimore! LEED is an internationally recognized green building certification system.
The picture depicts the hotel’s green roof and skylight for natural sunlight. Green roofs are an efficient way for absorbing rainwater, providing insulation, and helping to lower urban air temperatures to combat the heat island effect.
Thanks again to everyone that participated in our contest! To take part in the next one, check out the details below:
