USGBC NAMES TOP STATES FOR LEED
THE U.S. GREEN Building Council (USGBC; Washington, D.C.) released
its annual ranking of U.S. states leading the way on green building. The
list is based on LEED-certified gross square footage per capita over the
past year. In 2022, Massachusetts topped the ranking with 96 buildings
encompassing more than 26 million square feet, or 3.7 LEED-certified
square feet per resident.
" It was a strong year for LEED certifications across the U.S. as companies
and governments embrace LEED as a tool for meeting ESG goals and
organizational commitments to climate action, occupant well-being, and
resource efficiency, " Peter Templeton, USGBC president and CEO, said
in a release. " LEED buildings are environmentally friendly, cutting their
emissions and waste, and use less energy and water. At the same time,
they also help reduce operational and maintenance costs, contributing to
the bottom line. "
Rounding out the top five states were Illinois, New York, California,
and Maryland. As a federal territory, Washington, D.C., doesn't appear in
the official list but outperformed all states by certifying 46 square feet of
space per resident across 115 green building projects. In total for 2022,
the top 10 states certified 1,225 projects and nearly 353 million gross
square feet under LEED. For more information, visit usgbc.org.
