The U.S. Green Building Council has reported its latest data on healthcare facilities that received LEED certification over the past year. Overall, a total of 38 projects were LEED certified in 2024, covering 6.3 million gross square feet. Projects included clinics, diagnostic and other outpatient facilities, along with inpatient healthcare facilities.
Companies and institutions turn to tools like LEED certification to demonstrate responsible stewardship and measure impact. The LEED framework helps organizations align their ESG goals and provide transparent data that demonstrates progress.
This year marks the 25th anniversary since the LEED rating system was launched. USGBC is finalizing its later iteration of the rating system–LEED v5. In 2024, USGBC held two public comment periods and received more than 6,000 comments from stakeholders worldwide. LEED volunteers and staff reviewed and responded to the critical input. The final version of LEED v5 will be released later this year and will reflect the feedback received from the community. To learn more, visit usgbc.org.
