The U.S. Green Building Council and Dodge Data and Analytics recently released the World Green Building Trends 2016 report, which predicts a significant increase in U.S. green building activity by 2018. Here are some of the details of the report, as reported by the Hanley Wood Data Studio.
The World Green Building Trends 2016 report, conducted in nearly 70 countries over the world, outlines the big picture of global green building, and highlights a handful of countries including the United States.
In 2015, approximately 24% of U.S. building firms reported that over 60% of their projects were green projects, second only to South Africa (27%) and Australia (27%).
Builders in the U.S. have demonstrated an increasingly strong shift to green construction over the past three years. By 2018 however, 39% of respondents expect that green projects completed by their company will account for 60% or more of their total projects annually, a 15-percentage point growth compared to this year’s responses.
