Green construction is something increasingly deemed worthy of recognition by society in the form of various programs and incentives to encourage green construction practices and products. The desire to reward green projects implies a need to track them. And that has led to the creation of new monitoring and counting systems in the form of certifications and accreditations. Armed with those forms of recognition, government agencies as well as private stakeholders are able to offer rewards and incentives both for projects that involve public funding and for private projects that may be subject to local permitting, compliance or other regulatory or community oversight. The most robust and rapidly growing program that captures at least some significant portion of green building activity is the LEED certification program administered by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC). USGBC is a private, nonprofit organization with a mission to "...promote buildings that are environmentally responsible, profitable and healthy places to live and work." To accomplish this, the LEED program creates a protocol by which builders can qualify for credits ultimately toward some level of LEED certification.
That certification is then - hopefully and increasingly - recognized by local, state or federal government and then rewarded in some way - typically through tax breaks, rebates, grants, expedited permitting and other such incentives. Not only does the LEED program provide yet another tool for measuring green building activity but it is particularly useful for our specific purposes. Unlike market segmentation and forecasting based essentially on attempts to measure the revenues earned by the various manufacturers and suppliers of green building materials, an analysis of LEED programs and projects can point more directly to opportunities for green builders and material suppliers. While traditional segmentation and "sell side" revenue counting is important for identifying and quantifying market values and trends in specific market segments, such information doesn't tell us enough about where specific sales opportunities are likely to be found.

This is especially true in a rapidly growing market where virtually all observers agree that sufficient opportunity exists in virtually every market segment and that the incentives for participating in the market are already quite clear. In such a market, green builders, manufacturers and investors are less concerned with issues of market share or competitive position and instead tend to be focused on precisely where to point their sales and marketing resources. For these reasons, this report takes a project perspective that focuses on the "buy side" of the market where sales can be pursued and realized. There is no better barometer of the "buy side" of the market than USGBC's LEED data. But exactly how good is it? While it is clear that the LEED program is the leading tool for recognizing green building activity, it is less clear exactly how much of the total green building materials market is accounted for by LEED projects. Surely there are many green building projects that never apply for or receive LEED certification. SBI estimates that the USGBC will certify close to 4,000 projects in 2007. With estimates of the total green building market starting at approximately billion in 2006, and LEED-certified projects representing a green building materials value of approximately billion, LEED projects would appear to account for approximately 75% of total green building revenues.
