The Green Building Revolution Accelerates

If you’re an architect, engineer, builder or supplier to the green building industry, 2008 needs to be the year you get your business and professional act together. If you’re a building owner or developer, every future project should be a green building. Here’s why.

According to U.S. Green Building Council statistics, in 2007, there was nearly an 80 percent growth in cumulative Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)-registered and certified projects, on top of more than 50 percent cumulative growth in 2006. Essentially, the cumulative number of LEED registered and certified projects has increased 270 percent since the end of 2005! What does this mean for you? If you’re not doing LEED projects today, your competitors are, and they’re gaining the experience and expertise to get those projects in the future. See the balance of my article in February issue of Environmental Design & Construction.
