Women in the Environment had an amazing day at Embassy Suites in Denton as we learned about their LEED Certification and sustainability practices at the hotel and convention center. Complete with lunch at Houligan’s and a tour of the facility, we learned so much together and had a great time.
Thank you Embassy for hosting us!

About LEED:
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is a green building certification program used worldwide. Developed by the non-profit U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), it includes a set of rating systems for the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of green buildings, homes, and neighborhoods, which aims to help building owners and operators be environmentally responsible and use resources efficiently.
