Report 4500: Green Building Markets (updated for 2011) estimates the U.S. green building industry at $45 billion in 2007, leveling to $50-55 billion in 2008 and 2009, in terms of value of green buildings put in place during the calendar year. Annual growth was 30-40% from 2004-2007, after 50-60% growth in 2001-2003 when EBI Inc. started estimating the value of green buildings based on LEED certification data, total construction data, interviews and surveys of practitioners and experts. Green building markets have slowed in the recession but the percentage of projects in the category has actually increased more than anticipated as government and institutional markets remain busy.
