July 29, 2024 (Washington, D.C.) – Today, the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), the leading authority on green building and the global developer of the LEED green building program, announced the recipients of its 2024 LEED Homes Awards. The annual awards recognize projects, developers and home builders that exemplify leadership in the global residential green building market.
The 2024 project award recipients include affordable and market-rate single family and multifamily housing developments in the United States, Asia, Europe and South America. They are among more than 46,000 residential projects that have been certified under the LEED green building rating system, and in 2023 there was nearly a 5% increase in new LEED residential project registrations. The increased number of projects represent a growing commitment to sustainability among developers, builders and owners in the residential sector, which accounts for nearly one-fifth of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. . .
