What Owners Need to Know About... Green-Building Rating Systems: A look at LEED, Green Globes, ENERGY STAR, and the Living Building Challenge

摘要

In a recent survey of 312 executives with organizations that own or rent space or design or construct buildings, 62 percent said their organizations would be "extremely" or "very likely" to seek LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) certification if they were constructing or renovating a building, up from 48 percent two years earlier. Interestingly, however, the number of respondents reporting they would be "very likely" to seek an alternative to LEED certification increased nearly 153 percent - from 17 percent to 43 percent - over the same two-year period.
