An analysis by POLITICO’s E&E News and First Street revealed issues in the U.S. Green Building Council’s rating system that could spell flood danger for hundreds of structures. E&E News’s Corbin Hiar dissects the LEED certification gaps that are putting the newest generation of climate-friendly buildings in jeopardy. Plus, the EPA lost a lawsuit arguing that the agency wrongly approved a Colorado air permitting program that allowed the state to ignore ozone-forming emissions from oil and gas wells.
