Greater China is leading the green building market as the second largest region for LEED in the world. 1,961 LEED-registered and -certified projects, over 2,000 LEED professionals and the first LEED v4 certified project and 19 Million gross square meters of LEED certified projects.
As Greater China continues to solidify its position as a global powerhouse, green buildings are a key solution to meeting market demand of the stresses placed on our built environment.
“It is estimated that 200 million rural people will migrate to cities in China during the next twenty years. This dramatic population shift is creating great demand for buildings. And this demand must be supported not only through cutting-edge design, but also through sustainable design that reduces energy and resource waste and creates healthier spaces for the people of our country” says Pan Shiyi, Chairman of SOHO China Limited.
