Congrats to our #greenembassy friends at French Embassy in the U.S.!
The French Embassy in D.C. is a #GreenEmbassy. Since 2009 the Embassy has been working to reduce its ecological and carbon footprint and has decreased its energy consumption by 50%! The #MaisonFrançaiseDC, the French Embassy's event space, is considered one of the best green buildings in Washington D.C.!
Due in part to its fully green roof, this space has reduced 20% of total energy loss since its installation. #EnergyDiplomacy DC Greening Embassies Forum #EnergyDiplomacy
