Green building is on the rise for large contractors. Evidence of the increasing interest in green construc-tion can be seen in the numbers from ENR’s Top 100 Green Contractors list. As a group, the Top 100 gener-ated $46.53 billion in contracting revenue in 2011 from projects registered with, and actively seeking certifica-tion from, third-party ratings groups under objective sustainable-design standards, such as the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environ-mental Design, or LEED, standards. For the group, this total is a 4.4% uptick over $ 44.41 billion in 2010.

Domestically, green contracting revenue rose 3.8%, to $44.31 billion, in 2011 from $42.68 billion in 2010. The Top 100 had $2.22 billion in revenue from green projects outside the U.S. in 2011, up 28.3%, from $1.73 billion, in 2010.

The Top 100’s revenue from green contracting rep-resented 38.0% of the group’s total contracting reve-nue in 2011. Slightly lower than the 40.0% in 2010, this percentage is still significant.

“Looking at the big picture, green construction continues to grow both in our revenue and in the per-centage of our projects,” says Michael H. Deane, vice president of sustainable construction for Turner Con-struction. He says 2011 was the third consecutive year that sustainable projects accounted for over 50% of the firm’s projects. “And over 50% of these sustainable projects are targeting LEED Gold or Platinum,” he adds. He says Turner is building at least a half-dozen net-zero buildings.

Deane goes on to say that sustainable construction has branched into new markets, noting, “We are seeing interest in green construction in every type of building we work on.” He says Turner is working on data cen-

ters, stadiums and even airports that are pursuing LEED certification.

Further, sustainable construction is reaching beyond the general building market. In 2011, Gray Construction worked on manufacturing projects pur-suing LEED certification for Caterpillar, Siemens and Mitsubishi, says Stephen Gray, CEO. “If anything, we see the recession driving the desire to reduce the cost of doing business by creating more sustainable and energy-efficient buildings,” he says.

For many clients, building green is a business ne-cessity. “Those building in today’s market are investing in their own corporate portfolios and recognize that sustainability in buildings is an investment rather than a cost. Even for speculative projects ... LEED Gold and Platinum are seen as required differentiators,” says Phil Williams, vice president of Webcor Builders.

The energy savings generated from sustainable de-sign has prompted clients to ask for green buildings. But some people in the industry see other, softer ben-efits making green building attractive. “The Millennial Generation gravitates toward companies dedicated to sustainability and is willing to bear a portion of the cost burden for sustainability,” says Gray. “These issues are a matter of pragmatics, and I see this becoming stan-dard operating practice,” he says.

However, not all owners are interested in LEED certification. “We continue to see a minimum request of ‘practical sustainable design and construction’ ap-proaches incorporated into all of our projects. [But] we are seeing a slight decrease in requests for certified buildings,” says Paul Todd Merrill, director of sustain-able construction for Clayco.

“The large corporations and institutional investors

now are using LEED as a touchstone in managing their projects,” says Elizabeth Heider, a senior vice president at Skanska who currently chairs the USGBC board of directors. “But it is in the smaller projects or on projects where money is tight that we have seen some slippage.”

Not the Only Game in TownFor some owners, LEED is no longer the only option. “There have been some recent developments at the U.S. General Services Administration questioning the use of LEED as a rating system for their properties compared to the alternative rating system of Green Globes,” says Daniel J. Osterman, sustainability men-tor committee chairman at Sundt Construction. Green Globes is a green-building assessment tool licensed to the Green Building Initiative, Portland, Ore.

There have been rumblings concerning LEED in other areas. This spring, the U.S. Dept. of Defense announced it would be requiring on federal building projects the use not only of LEED but also the Amer-ican Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air- Conditioning Engineers’ Standard 189.1, which also covers the design of high-performance sustainable buildings. Many LEED advocates worried this move might be a sign the DOD is shying away from LEED,

but most contractors believe LEED and ASHRAE are complementary.

On the other hand, the federal DOD spending re-authorization bill, H. R. 1540, barred the DOD from spending federal funds for LEED Gold or Platinum certification. “Now, all Defense Dept. [contract] so-licitations no longer are permitted to require higher than a LEED Silver rating. You can build a project to LEED Gold standards, but the Defense Dept. is barred from paying extra for the higher rating,” says Jeff Harper, CEO of Harper Construction. However, Harper says his firm has completed 12 LEED Plati-num buildings for the DOD in the past year.

Another controversy concerning LEED was USGBC’s decision in June to defer its decision on whether to adopt LEED’s revamped 4.0 standard. One element of the proposed standard calls for the “avoid-ance of chemicals of concern,” as defined by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, in its requirements for better indoor-air quality. This item would affect common chemicals used in vinyls and flame retardants.

This item is being fought by the chemical industry as arbitrary, costly and unneeded. The chemical indus-try also lobbied GSA, one of the largest single entities that require LEED certification, to reject LEED 4.0 if it were adopted as written. As a result of industry

“Now, all Defense Dept.[contract] solicitations no longer are permitted to require higher than a LEED Silver rating.”

pressure and thousands of member comments on the proposal, USGBC agreed to review the standard and defer possible adoption until mid-2013.

However, many people in the industry say the chemicals-of-concern provision should be seriously considered. Heider argues that LEED 4.0 may actually be a bigger money-saver for owners than the energy savings from the current version. “The industry has made energy savings a major selling point for LEED. But shifting the focus to a healthier work environment would mean higher productivity and less lost time to illnesses.” Heider says measuring these savings may be based on a “softer metric,” but the gains have the potential to be enormous.

Heider also points out that moving away from these potentially harmful chemicals may be an opportunity for the chemical industry. “In 2000, there was a major controversy about USGBC’s move to eliminate volatile organic compounds from the construction process. But it passed, and the chemical industry responded with new and innovative alternatives,” she says.

Sustainable construction expansion has had some interesting effects. Many contractors have touted as a marketing point their experience in building green. But now, “it is harder to rely on sustainable design and construction as a differentiator. With more clients in-terested in and demanding green, all contractors have become pretty adept at providing it,” says Christopher Day, vice president of Swinerton Builders.

On the other hand, green contractors find their processes have improved. “Making changes to our practices to meet LEED requirements has us asking ourselves why [we] would want to go back to doing things the old way when we have advanced so far in our sustainable practices,” says Merrill of Clayco.

As green building has matured, more participants in the construction process have signed on, making the process itself run more smoothly. “Years ago, we had to educate subcontractors and vendors about sustain-able construction,” says Gray. “Today, more and more

of our subcontractors, vendors, manufacturers and other industry folks are up to speed on sustainability.”

Many green-building experts believe green construction will continue to expand and evolve. “Per-formance disclosure may provide the next big boost to green construction,” says Laura D’Ardenne, manager of sustainable construction at PCL Construction.

D’Ardenne says performance disclosure, which has been adopted in California and Seattle, requires build-ing owners to disclose actual building performance to all potential and new tenants and buyers. “This will have a great impact on the market since prospective tenants will be able to compare what their energy costs will be between buildings. This is a pretty smart way to encourage building owners to retrofit their buildings without mandating it,” she says.

Companies are ranked according to revenue for contractors’ services generated in 2011 from projects that have been registered with or certified by a third-party organization that sets stan-dards for measuring a building’s or facility’s environmental impact, energy efficiency or carbon footprint. Such groups include the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) and the Green Building Initiative. The volume of revenue is measured in ($) millions. Some markets may not add up to 100% due to rounding. Revenue from construction

management on a fee-only basis is not included.
