Abstract
This Frost & Sullivan research titled LEED and Beyond: Evolving Trends in Green & Intelligent Buildings in North America illustrates the present scenario in the green building industry and how it has evolved over the years to date. It further analyzes the influence of the LEED tool or the U.S. Green Building Council as it relates to the rating of green buildings in North America and how evolving trends are likely to dictate LEED' s future growth. While summarizing that greening is inevitable, this research takes a critical look at the available options for greening at the industry' s disposal and plausible steps that could potentially lend a more defined status to this industry-wide movement.
