The United States Green Building Council recently awarded current home owners in Bradenton's Mirabella with a platinum LEED certification, the highest LEED rating. Mirabella currently has an additional 37 homes under construction with 53 lots remaining, with plans to have those 90 properties also earn the same level of certification. To receive LEED certification, each home must earn points in five green design categories: sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, and indoor environmental quality.
