In 2024, a total of 64 LEED projects were certified in Colorado, covering an impressive 13,884,040 square feet of space. These buildings not only support Colorado's clean energy goals but also enhance safety, durability, sustainability, comfort, and affordability for households and businesses.
Will Toor, CEO Executive Director of the U.S. Green Building Council, highlighted the importance of lowering building emissions in achieving climate goals. He also emphasized how energy-efficient buildings not only lower utility costs but also reduce harmful air pollution that contributes to climate change and impacts public health. Toor added that these buildings are also quieter and provide a better living or working environment for tenants.
Colorado's consistent efforts towards promoting sustainable building practices have earned them a well-deserved spot among the top ten states in this year's report. With continued dedication towards greener initiatives, it is expected that Colorado will maintain its position as a national leader in this area.
