The Real Green is in the "L" Word
|
|
|
The green movement seems to have taken control
over the residential market. The LEED® for Homes rating is
picking up steam and the numbers provide the proof on what seems to be
its rapidly growing acceptance.
Considering that the LEED® for Homes
rating was launched about two years ago, this is definitely one of the
ratings experiencing approval. There’s approximately over 5,300 homes
that have received LEED for Homes Certification and close to 24,000 that
are registered. In comparison, there are about 5,100 LEED certified
commercial projects and close to 28,000 in the pipeline which have been
registered.
So why the growth in the L-Homes rating when the residential market
is supposedly in such a disarray? What’s the importance of “living”
(the L-word) in a green home?
