As iconic symbols of American diplomacy, U.S. Embassies are subject to a range of security and terrorist threats. The ongoing threats to Americans who live and work in overseas diplomatic facilities drive the security, design, construction, and operations of these buildings. Sustainable design practices and operations effectively reduce the consumption of resources at diplomatic facilities, while enhancing security. Learn about sustainable building initiatives at U.S. Embassies and how sustainability and security result in design excellence.
