Once an emerging trend, green building has become a growing part of today’s construction industry. With the down market, it has become even more important for industry players to capture the opportunity created by the demand for more sustainable buildings. As a result, we have put together this Green Outlook report which provides you with rich intelligence about sustainable design and construction—a market that is ever growing and one firms will need to understand moving forward.

By 2013, McGraw-Hill Construction estimates today’s overall green building market to more than double, reaching between $96 -$140 billion versus $36-$49 billion today for residential and nonresidential buildings.

McGraw-Hill Construction's Green Outlook 2009 reports on market size, trends and opportunity across green building sectors and regions provides essential knowledge for any green building business in the coming year and beyond.

2009 Green Outlook - Executive Summary (This is a report excerpt)

In 2005, green building was a small, burgeoning market, approximately 2% of both nonresidential (commercial and institutional) and residential construction, valued at a total $10 billion–$3 billion for nonresidential and $7 billion for nonresidential. Since that time, green building has expanded rapidly due to a number of factors such as growing public awareness of green practices, heavy increase in government interventions (see page 35 for details), and recognition by owners of the bottom line advantages (see page 9 for details). In fact, green building has grown in spite of the market downturn. Green seems to be one area of construction insulated by the downturn, and we expect green building will continue to grow over the next five years despite negative market conditions to be a $96-$140 billion market.
