LEED Construction in Houston
In 2005, green building to LEED standards made up roughly 2% of all construction in the U.S., totaling $10 billion. Today it has more than quadrupled to just under $50 billion. By 2013, the federal government estimates it could reach more than $130 billion.
The main goal of complying with the US Green Building Council's LEED construction and certification standards is pretty simple: sustainable practices for better environmental conditions and better workforce health. Currently, these standards are not being met by many businesses in Houston.
