May 15, 2014: USGBC Launches Real-Time Green Building Data for US States
Online State Market Briefs Provide Information Transparency
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) has launched a new online data resource that highlights real-time green building data for each state in the United States. These state market briefs — highlighting Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) projects, LEED-credentialed professionals, and USGBC membership in each state — provide green building professionals and the general public a look into LEED’s impact within any U.S. state.
“Our state-level market briefs demonstrate USGBC’s commitment to data and information transparency at an important level of granularity. You can’t find this data anywhere else in the market,” said Mahesh Ramanujam, chief operating officer, USGBC. “The choice to build green buildings is simple. These state-level data visualizations make it even simpler.”
