The document discusses green building and LEED certification. It provides an overview of LEED, describing the different LEED programs and how LEED has become the dominant system for green building certification. It also summarizes some of the legal issues related to green building, such as state executive orders in California requiring LEED certification for new state buildings. Trends in the green building industry are discussed, along with the business benefits of green building projects.
Greening your business is pretty but it may be poisonousKevin Connolly

GREEN LEASES
Acquisitions of triple net leased buildings have become extremely popular as passive investors
looking for bond‐like returns in commercial real estate continue to enter the market. In a NNN lease, several
of the identifiable benefits of green buildings such as lower utility costs and improved occupant productivity
flow directly to the tenant’s bottom line. Many owners of NNN leased buildings, content with their existing
non‐green investments and unconvinced by other benefits, consequently find little incentive to incur
greening costs from which they do not directly profit. ‘Green leases’ have been suggested as a remedy for
the valid apprehension of owners regarding the disproportionate financial burden in greening their
buildings.
The LEED rating system was never meant to serve as a building code. Yet, cities and states are mandating LEED for private construction. This presentation describes how LEED private construction mandates will result in a green building legal apocalypse.
