This is particularly important given the venues industry\u2019s growing impact\u2014the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics<\/a> anticipates the number of conventions and events will expand by 44 percent from 2010 to 2020, and roughly 60 million people worldwide attend consumer or industry tradeshows each year. As well, the U.S.\u2019s top 200 stadiums alone are visited by approximately 181 visitors each year.<\/p>\n<p>However, this kind of growth is not all positive. According to an estimate from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wm.com\/index.jsp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Waste Management<\/a>, the convention industry produces about 60,000 tons of waste every year, while the National Football League (NFL), Major League Baseball (MLB), National Hockey League (NHL), and NBA generate 35,000 metric tons of CO<sub>2<\/sub>.<\/p>\n<p>Currently implemented in more than 164 countries and territories, the LEED rating system is one effective response to these kinds of problems. In addition to reducing waste and increasing energy savings, it allows for improved cost savings and return on investment (ROI). To be more specific, USGBC\u2019s \u201cGreen Building Economic Impact Study 2015\u20132018\u201d estimated LEED-certified U.S. buildings would generate $2.1 billion in savings from reduced energy, water, maintenance, and waste.<\/p>\n<p>As the venues industry grows, LEED is growing alongside it. <a href=\"http:\/\/construction.com\/about-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dodge Data &amp; Analytics\u2019<\/a> 2016 World Green Building Trends SmartMarket Report states global green building doubles every three years, while the USGBC study predicts green construction will generate more than 3.3 million jobs and $190.3 billion in U.S. labor earnings by next year. It also reports 40 percent of the green construction market\u2019s contribution to the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) in 2015 was due to LEED-certified buildings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe scope and scale of the venues industry is enormous, and the leaders creating these spaces have an important role to play in reducing environmental impact,\u201d says Mahesh Ramanujam, USGBC\u2019s president and CEO. \u201cBy incorporating green practices, venues around the world are positively impacting their triple bottom line\u2014people, planet, profit\u2014while inspiring and educating others to be proactive in the areas of social responsibility and sustainability.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. Green Building Council\u2019s (USGBC\u2019s) LEED in Motion: Venues report examines venues\u2019 capacity for certification under the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program, highlighting some of the more successful examples.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1836,"featured_media":33229,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1029],"tags":[1371,3279,127,3286,3273,1457],"class_list":["post-30497","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-california","tag-florida","tag-leed","tag-national","tag-sports","tag-usgbc","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
