Report Reveals Global Venues Embracing LEED Green Building Certification
The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) recently released its “LEED in Motion: Venues” report, highlighting the efforts of convention centers, sports venues, performing arts centers, community centers, and public assembly spaces to transform their environmental, social, and economic footprint through Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification.
“The scope and scale of the venues industry is enormous, and the leaders creating these spaces have an important role to play in reducing environmental impact,” said Mahesh Ramanujam, president and CEO, USGBC. “By incorporating green practices, venues around the world are positively impacting their triple bottom line – people, planet, profit – while inspiring and educating others to be proactive in the areas of social responsibility and sustainability.”
