Colorado Third on List of Top LEED States for 2012
The U.S. Green Building Council recently released its annual list of the top 10 states for new LEED certifications in 2012, on which Colorado ranks No. 3. The per-capita list, which recognizes states that are leading the way in transforming their buildings and communities and includes Washington, D.C., is based on 2010 U.S. Census data and reflects certifications for commercial and institutional buildings.
With 62,180,180 total sq ft of LEED-certified space through 2012, Colorado certified 2.10 sq ft per resident last year, standing behind Virginia, with 3.71 sq ft, and in front of Massachusetts, with 2.05 sq ft.
