The U.S. volume of LEED-certified office space expanded by 146.5 million square feet across 461 projects in 34 states (including Washington, D.C.) during the first half of 2023. Of these, 129.8 million square feet across 402 projects allowed their data to be public, according to the U.S. Green Building Council<\/a>. Publicly available results, which we will be querying, include new certifications (56.8 million square feet across 266 projects) and recertifications (73 million square feet across 136 projects).<\/p>\n

Of the 402 LEED certifications for office projects, 220 were awarded to projects located in just five states (including Washington, D.C.): California, New York, Texas, the District of Columbia and Georgia. These accounted for 74 million square feet of LEED-certified and -recertified office space, representing nearly 60 percent of the entire certified portfolio of office properties in 2023 through June.
