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.

providing them a LEED certified space to work in is definitely a positive
motivation to the employees.
