Green Building and Sustainability Tour at the National Library

It may look white – but our building is green! In this unique tour, we’ll show how the National Library of Israel’s new residence received a platinum ranking (the highest possible ranking) for green building from the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification program. We’ll examine the building from all angles. Deep underground, we’ll witness the building’s “ecological air conditioner” and talk about sustainable development. In the reading hall, we’ll take in the sunlight and examine ways to deal with solar radiation. In the Library Garden, we’ll enjoy local flora and talk about saving water and energy. Sustainability like you’ve never seen before!
