Schools with cleanest air?

Also consider the location of the school - is it next to a highway or busy road or does it have green space around it.

What does toxic look like?

Yes please come to our LEED building but 150 cars have been idling outside for 30 minutes twice a day. I’m sure that has to cancel out!

Are you guys sure LEED means clean air? I thought it meant energy efficient. I'm not sure those two are always hand in hand.

LEED certification is based on a composite score that includes many elements, one of which is air quality. Many other aspects of the building’s design (energy efficiency, efficient water use, access to public transportation, etc) factor into the score. Some factors are given a heavier weight than others.

My guess is that OP sells the air quality monitoring equipment and likely is not liberal.
