New CBRE, Maastricht University Study Lists Top 10 Green U.S. Cities

|
LOS ANGELES -- The 2014 Green Building Adoption Index, a joint project between CBRE Group Inc. (NYSE: CBG) and Maastricht University, has named Minneapolis as the greenest city in the nation, with 77 percent of the city's commercial real estate certified as green.
The term "green" is in reference to buildings that are either certified by the EPA's Energy Star rating or the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED program.
Rounding out the top 10 green cities are:
2. San Francisco (67.2 percent)
3. Chicago (62.1 percent)
4. Houston (54.8 percent)
5. Atlanta (54.1 percent)
6. Los Angeles (49.7 percent)
7. Denver (49.3 percent)
8. Seattle (46.6 percent)
9. Miami (46 percent)
10. Washington, D.C. (42.4 percent)
The study also emphasizes the dramatic increase in the number of green commercial real estate properties in the United States since 2005. During that time frame, the amount of Energy Star-labeled buildings has increased 600 percent, and the proportion of buildings that are LEED certified has jumped up 1,000 percent.
LEED-certified space now totals 19.4 percent of the total building stock in the 30 office markets reviewed in the study when measured by floor area. The study is the first project in CBRE's Real Green Research Challenge (RGRC), the company's $1 million initiative for research and innovation in sustainability. CBRE launched the RGRC in September 2012.
"We have all seen the rapid growth in the number of green-certified buildings in the markets in which we work. However, we were quite surprised to see how large the numbers actually are. Green is absolutely the new norm," says Dave Pogue, global director of corporate responsibility for CBRE.
