(NewsUSA) - When Washington, D.C. passed its Green Building
Act of 2006, a mandate stating that all new private real estate developments need to follow the
LEED (Leader in Energy and Environmental Design) standards set by the United States Green Building
Council (USGBC), it broke new ground. Building green became the new industry norm.
When builders "go green," they erect efficient buildings that use fewer resources, improve indoor air
health and minimize environmental impact. Cities have embraced green building to save energy,
water and waste-management costs. From 2003 to 2007, the American cities with green building
mandates grew from 22 to 92, a 418 percent increase.
