GPR Meeting / US EPA HQ / Jan 2012
Analogy: USGBC / LEED
* Green building is estimated at 44% of non-residential new construction in 2012.
BEFORE (early 1990’s) AFTER (early 2010’s)
Market fragmented by inconsistent guidelines ➔ LEED provides buyers and suppliers with common language
No shared training program for green building ➔ LEED AP makes training accessible to everyone
Can’t differentiate credible from greenwash ➔ LEED identifies credible standards and eco-labels
Leadership recognition based on marketing ➔ Leadership recognition based on performance
Shared challenges solved project by project ➔ Shared challenges addressed through LEED versioning
Documentation is expensive and rare ➔ Documentation costs steadily decrease
Creativity consumed reinventing the wheel ➔ Creativity focused on innovation
ROI demonstrated on case by case basis ➔ ROI of LEED approach consistently documented
Green building is expensive ➔ Building LEED-certified adds negligible cost
“A common standard is impossible.” ➔ A common standard is widely embraced and used.
“Green building will always be niche.” ➔ Green building is becoming the norm.*
