Hard to believe that it was a week ago when we were in Bozeman with incredible people and projects. Grateful to Kath Williams for making our visit so memorable and very much looking forward to our return. One of our stops included an amazing tour of the Montana State University-Bozeman. The campus was spectacular, innovative, and packed with #LEED buildings. Charlie Woodruff U.S. Green Building Council U.S. Green Building Council - U.S. Market Insights

Human health is a longstanding value of the green building movement. Green buildings can promote health and well-being in the near term while preserving resources and protecting the environment for human benefit in the long term. By intentionally deploying green building strategies, like those available for use within the LEED rating systems, owners and practitioners can simultaneously promote health and well-being at a variety of population scales. These strategies can help: • Create superior environments for building occupants. • Promote safe and healthy sites for construction workers. • Reduce toxic exposures throughout the supply chain. • Advance the health of surrounding communities. • Mitigate climate change to benefit global populations.
