Green Building: From Trend to Revolution!
Recent statistics from the U.S. Green Building Council indicate clearly that the green building trend is accelerating! That’s why I call it now a “green building revolution.”
At the end of 2006, the cumulative number of LEED-registered projects increased 50% above 2005 year-end totals to 5026, and the cumulative number of LEED-certified projects increased 67%, to 669. Current statistics through the middle of September show that the cumulative number of LEED-registered projects had increased 52% in less than nine months, on track to achieve more than 70% growth in 2007. During the same period, the cumulative number of LEED-certified projects had grown 58%, reaching nearly 1100, on track to achieve more than 80% growth during 2007. Over the same period, the number of USGBC dues-paying members grew more than 60%! Folks, this is a full-fledged revolution underway, no longer just a “trend!”
