 | Greenbuild, the world’s largest International Conference and Expo, was held in Chicago’s LEED Certified McCormick Place Nov. 14-16. The McCormick Center is one of nearly 750 LEED-certified buildings in the city that represent more than 233 million gross square feet. |
In fact, Chicago itself became one of the first cities to also achieve LEED certification by the U.S. Green Building Council and its efforts have helped Illinois repeatedly appear as one of the top states in the country using LEED, which is the most widely used green building program in the world.
In addition to showcasing the city’s sustainability, the conference itself had a robust sustainability plan. At last year’s conference in Boston 90.5 percent of waste was diverted on-site—a record level. With Chicago being a sustainability leader, the organizers were excited for the execution of this year’s sustainability plan at the McCormick center.
