LEED Survey that establishes the fact that people like working LEED certified buildings


There was a new survey undertaken by the USGBC and results were published in last quarter of 2018. It was found that people who are working in buildings that are certified as LEED tend to be happy in better health and have higher productivity as compared to the people who are working in conventional buildings that are not certified under LEED or other green building guidelines. USGBC provides professional credentials including LEED Green Associate and LEED AP.
It has also been seen that large number of employees wish to work with organizations who have values and are sustainable. The survey reflected that approximately 855 of people want tpo work with companies that have sustainable mission and are ethically operating.


Awareness level of employees was also seen quite high amongst the respondents as they were found to be aware about LEED guidelines and believed that companies who go ahead with LEED certification are focusing towards sustainable development. People are also becoming are that in order to build a career in real estate and construction industry they must get professional certification and LEED Green Associate and the LEED AP credential provides them with exactly the same requirement.
 It was also seen that people want to work in a space that’s LEED certified as it instills confidence that the indoor air wuality as well as the environmental footprint of their operations will be better. Significant percentage of respondents mentioned that they would choose to work in a LEED certified building over another.
Retaining talent is a key concern for companies and providing them a LEED certified space to work in is definitely a positive motivation to the employees.
The survey was conducted for over one thousand employees in the United States.
