Greening Existing Buildings
I have chosen to emphasize use of the USGBC's LEED-EB rating system, for three reasons. First, it is the longest established and most widely used of the existing building rating systems, having first appeared in a pilot program in 2002. Second, it offers a full range of options for greening existing buildings, measures duplicated in other rating systems, so that by examining projects using the LEED sys tem, you will understand how to use the other rating systems in countries where they are more widely used. Third, LEED-EB is the fastest growing of all LEED rating sys tems since 2007, indicating a growing market acceptance of the system. Having decided to focus on LEED-EB, I then decided to focus primarily on completed projects that have received the highest ratings in that system, the Gold or Platinum designations. Interestingly, most of the completed projects are by private owners, corporate-owned and operated properties, commercial buildings owned by smaller local enterprises, and commercial buildings managed by large national and international firms. That private owners are willing to incur the costs of upgrading their properties to the highest standards, alone speaks volumes about the benefits of greening existing buildings
