New LEED Project Registrations Reach 3,600 in 2007, now top 8,500 total, grow 74% this year!

Though December 1st, with the year only 89% done, new LEED registered projects increased by 3,642 this year (cumulative year-over-year growth of 74%) and new LEED certified projects grew by 514 (cumulative growth of 77%). LEED registered buildings and interiors (for the four main certification systems) now exceed 1.7 billion square feet of project area.

The green building revolution is accelerating. Contrast these 11-month numbers with 2006 year-over-year (vs. 2005) growth of only 50% in registered projects and 67% growth in certified projects. Registered project area grew by more than 265%, indicating that a lot of the growth is in much larger projects, represented by the LEED for Core and Shell and LEED for Existing Buildings rating systems. Any way you analyze it, green building is mainstreaming far more quickly than anyone imagined even two years ago.
