Green Building Boom

Posted on April 3, 2009 08:57 by Sean W. Martin

According to the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) the number of both LEED-registered and LEED-certified projects doubled in 2008-from about 10,000 registered projects at the end of 2007 up to more than 20,000 by the end of January 2009. Square footage of LEED-certified construction also rose 92% during that time period, from 148 million up to 284 million square feet.

As the number of LEED registered and LEED certified projects grows so does the potential for claims. Is anybody handling any "green" building claims, if so share your experiences.

The DRI Product Liability Seminar later this month (April 15-17) in San Diego will feature two presentations that would interest you in this field. FTC regulations of claims of "green" labeling, and green buildings/green products (focusing on LEED certification and implications for building product manufacturers with products being incorporated into LEED certified "green" buildings). It's not too late to sign up for the seminar and even to obtain the seminar hotel rate. Go to www.dri.org for more information.
