The green movement within the design and construction industry is picking up momentum and opening the doors for thousands of organizations to expand in a flourishing market. According to the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), the U.S. market for green building is expected to rise to $60 billion by 2010, up from $7 billion in 2005. Currently there are over 11,000 LEED certified or LEED registered projects in the U.S. today.
Individuals and organizations around the world are working quickly to implement a green strategy to help reduce their impact on the environment. Governments have instituted an unprecedented level of initiatives, and the residential demand for green construction has never been higher. (Source: FMI’s 2008 U.S. Construction Overview).
To address the large increase in demand for green construction projects, Reed Construction Data announced an exciting new feature for Reed Connect last month which offers an easy way to search for LEED registered construction projects.
Through Reed Connect, a Web-based project lead service, the user can easily search for LEED certified projects with the click of a button.
The industry is responding to the launch of this unique feature and is using Connect to find, track and get updates on LEED registered projects throughout the U.S. For construction professionals who wish to develop skills and competencies in the area of sustainable design, Connect offers a quick and efficient way to drill down.
