\"\"<\/a>A Tempe office building<\/a> set a national ENERGY STAR record recently when it received its 15th consecutive certification. Now, Arizona has achieved elite green status of another kind. For the first time, the state has secured a position in the U.S. Green Building Council\u2019s annual list of the top 10 states for LEED certification.<\/p>\n

States were ranked by the volume of space per state resident for commercial and institutional green building projects that earned LEED certification in 2014. Arizona tied for tenth place with New York, registering 82 LEED certified projects that totaled close to 11.2 million square feet. That translates to a ratio of 1.74 square feet of certified space per capita.<\/p>\n

For the second year in a row, Illinois took first place on USGBC\u2019s list. Last year, 174 projects totaling almost 42.5 million square feet were certified in the state, equivalent to 3.31 square feet of per capita. Rounding out the top 10 were Colorado, Maryland, Virginia, Massachusetts, Hawaii, California, Georgia and Minnesota.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery story about a green building is a story about people,\u201d said USGBC\u2019s CEO Rick Fedrizzi in a statement. \u201cUSGBC\u2019s annual recognition of the Top 10 States for LEED goes beyond gross square feet or number of projects and factors in LEED\u2019s potential in a given state to be part of the daily life of the state\u2019s residents.\u201d<\/p>\n
