Why should you learn about green building? 

In today's business world, LEED is the language of green. The USGBC is leading the way to a sustainably built environment with LEED, the catalyst for fundamentally changing the way we think about designing, constructing, operating and maintaining our buildings. Achieving a LEED credential signifies that you

Thanks to the USGBC's stong focus on Advocacy, we are now be able to access state-level green-building data in real time. These State Market Briefs are data visualization dashboards that provide a quick look at LEED and USGBC data specific to a State. The visualizations can also be exported as pdf files to share with neighbors, friends, colleagues and elected officials.

This resource provides cumulative registered and certified project totals, project achievement totals, gross square footage, project totals broken out by owner type and space type, USGBC member organizations by type, credential holders, links to Chapter(s) serving that particular state, and a project profile scorecard. The USGBC will make market briefs for countries outside the USA upon request, and plans to add LEED Homes and LEED ND data in the future. Check out Florida and your home State!
