Green Building in Washington

Washington's green building sector has grown significantly over the past decade. See the charts below for the market share information of new LEED®, Built Green®, and Earth Advantage® construction projects (compared to all new construction projects) and the number of registered green construction projects in Washington. In addition to seeing rapid growth in the number of certified green buildings, multiple jurisdictions have begun requiring green building practices for their civic projects. A number of non-governmental organizations have focused on building the market for sustainably built buildings as well. More information on growth in Washington's Green Building sector can be found in the Beyond Waste Progress Report.
