US green building certifications move beyond LEED
While LEED has dominated US green building certification for over two decades, alternative certifications are rapidly gaining adoption for specific ESG priorities: Fitwel for health and wellness at lower cost, ILFI Zero Carbon for verified net-zero operations, RELi for climate resilience, and BREEAM or ARC for portfolio-level tracking. Market leaders now employ multiple certifications simultaneously rather than relying on LEED alone, reflecting a shift from static design-based ratings toward dynamic operational certifications that deliver measurable ESG results.
