The year 2021 was no exception\u2014overall, the Prairie State occupied the leading position with nearly 3.2 certified gross square feet per capita. Specific to the office segment, the state also fared very well and ranked second by volume of office space certified at LEED level, with 30.5 million square feet awarded a LEED designation.<\/p>\n<p>Chicago is the state\u2019s hub in terms of attention to sustainability, boasting targeted energy efficiency investments and its 2022 Climate Action Plan that includes carbon emissions reduction, while increasing household savings, advancing environmental justice and improving community health. It\u2019s no wonder that all 10 LEED-certified office buildings in this ranking are located in Chicago.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>READ ALSO<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/top-10-states-for-leed-certified-office-properties-in-2021\/\">Top 10 States for LEED-Certified Office Properties in 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>The focus on the environmentally friendly office space has become more prominent in the development industry, and this importance originates from office tenants who seek it or the equity investors who demand it. A recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cushmanwakefield.com\/en\/united-states\/insights\/green-is-good-series\">study led by Cushman &amp; Wakefield<\/a> shows that LEED-certified buildings lease up faster, generate a rent premium and trade at higher values than non-certified office buildings in the same class.<\/p>\n<p>The properties featured in this list are all 2021 LEED Gold recipients, which we ranked by square footage, from highest to lowest, as sent by the USGBC. Last year in Illinois, there were two office properties that earned the highest level of recognition from the USGBC\u2014one located in Chicago and the other in Roselle, Ill., however, these didn\u2019t make the list due to their smaller sizes.<\/p>\n<table width=\"100%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"74\"><strong>Rank<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"129\"><strong>Project Name<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"90\"><strong>Project Address<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"90\"><strong>Gross Area Square Footage<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"90\"><strong>Rating System<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"90\"><strong>Certification Date<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"74\">1<\/td>\n<td width=\"129\">Prudential Plaza<\/td>\n<td width=\"90\">180 N.
