Study: Sustainable work accounts for $134 billion in wages
Segment could soon represent a third of construction
Green construction -- including green HVAC -- projects will generate 2.3 million U.S. jobs this year, the USGBC says in a new study.
Its rate of growth is faster than the overall construction market and by 2018 will account for a third of the industry, according to the “2015 Green Building Economic Impact Study,” prepared for the U.S. Green Building Council by research firm Booz Allen Hamilton.
