The U.S. Green Building Council recently released its annual ranking of the top 10 states in the nation for the LEED green building rating system. Colorado came in second in per-capita LEED green square footage in 2014, just behind Illinois. The per-capita list highlights states throughout the country that are making strides in sustainable building design, construction and transformation.
LEED-certified spaces use less energy and water resources, save money for families, businesses and taxpayers, reduce carbon emissions and create a healthier environment for residents, workers and the larger community.
