Description:
Long-awaited confirmation that buildings constructed to sustainability standards of the U.S.Green Building Council’s LEED system generally perform better than uncertified buildings has arrived thanks to two recent studies. Looking at energy savings, occupancy rates, sale price and rental rates, they found that LEED buildings use an average of 25% to 30% less energy than non-LEED buildings.
