LEED is still very much in its infancy. How can I tell? Everyone still talks about LEED firsts. Here are just a few that I have found while surfing the internet.
I believe that while green building and sustainable design would have continued on its slow course to the mainstream, it was Al Gore’s movie “An Inconvenient Truth” that set the trend ablaze.
We recently obtained a bunch of information (7 megabytes worth) from the USGBC and GBCI covering all sorts of metrics about certified/registered projects such as state, project type, LEED product type (Core and Shell, Commercial Interiors, New Construction), LEED version, registration date (2000-2008), certified yes/no, certified date, etc.
The first visualization I could obtain without much effort is the number of LEED Accredited Professionals by state. California leads the nation with over 11,300 LEED APs. New York comes in second with over 4,900 LEED APs.
