The Baltimore/Washington Weather Forecast Office (WFO) in Sterling, Virginia is one of 122 WFOs that monitor and predict the weather over the nation. The Baltimore/Washington WFO is the fifth WFO in the nation built to LEED™ standards, with a Silver status anticipated in FY 2010. The building incorporates many sustainable technologies such as daylight harvesting, dark-sky compliant exterior lighting, an adiabatic white roof, water-conserving fixtures such as dual flush toilets and tankless hot water; and reduced paving to minimize storm water runoff.
