USGBC offers green building data in real time

Wednesday, May 28, 2014

The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) has debuted a new online visual resource that allows users to view green building data from each state in real time. The USGBC State Market Brief information includes a list of LEED-credentialed professionals, member organizations, along with data on LEED projects based in the United States.

Among the information is the size of each LEED-certified project, its owner type and space type. The USGBC will also make international market briefs available upon request. In addition, the council plans on providing LEED for Homes and LEED for Neighborhood Development data later this year.

“Our state-level market briefs demonstrate USGBC’s commitment to data and information transparency at an important level of granularity,” says Mahesh Ramanujam, USGBC’s chief operating officer. “You can’t find this data anywhere else in the market. The choice to build green buildings is simple. These state-level data visualizations make it even simpler.”
