Green buildings perform better than their conventional ones in rental rates, sales prices, occupancy rates and energy savings according to two new studies.
The New Building Institute Study discovered that buildings certified by the USGBC LEED system perform 25 to 30 percent better than non certified buildings on average. The study also showed a direct link between increased levels of LEED certification and increased savings in energy.
A new study by the CoStar Group determined that LEED structures obtain rent premiums of $11.24 per square foot and have a 3.8 percent higher occupancy rates.
