As part of the integrated design build team lead by PCL Construction & Steinberg Architects, Green Dinosaur wins the California State University, Fullerton’s Student Housing Phase III Design-Build competition. The project is targeting LEED-NC Gold Certification.



By 2009, 80% of corporate America is expected to be engaged in green at least 16% of the time, and 20% will be engaged in green 60% of the time.



Buildings are one of the heaviest consumers of natural resources and account for a significant portion of the greenhouse gas emissions that affect climate change. In the U.S., buildings account for 39% of all CO2 emissions.



The LEED for New Construction rating system was first released in 2000. LEED for Homes was launched in December 2007. Every business day, $464 million worth of construction registers with LEED.



U.S. Buildings Impacts on Resources: 39% of total energy consumption - 71% of electricity consumption - 39% CO2 emissions - 36% of all greenhouse gas emissions.
