First in Nevada, First in the World: LEED®-Registered Floating Green Building at Lake Mead National Recreation Area

SEARCHLIGHT, Nev (May 25, 2011) - Exterior decking of the building. The decking system, manufactured by Best Deck is 100% green and 100% recyclable. It's composed of 55% rice hulls (renewable resource) and 45% recycled plastic. The factory manufacturing process reduces its carbon footprint by using less electricity and recirculating water. Heat generated from the production equipment is captured and used in the factory. (NPS Photo / Andrew S. Muñoz)
