The Smithsonian Institution will open the doors of its greenest building to date Sept. 19: the Charles McC. Mathias Laboratory on the campus of the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center in Edgewater, Md. Designed to be the first Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Platinum building in the Institution, the Mathias Lab will emit 37 percent less CO2 than a comparable lab that does not meet LEED-certification standards.
