Hi Michael,
On Gyroscope's blog we've written a fair bit about this topic as we've spent
the last 15 years encouraging, nudging, and cajoling clients to go green in
exhibits. I've pulled the relevant ones and posted them below in order of
relevance to your question.
We have several LEED folks on staff here, so I'm sure one of them will chime
in.
Good luck!
Maria
