As of May 2025, offices were the type of buildings with the most LEED-certifications in the United States. The cumulative number of offices with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certificates amounted to roughly ****** units, while the number of certificates for retail spaces was approximately *****.
The source originally had 20 property types, but it only displays the ten types of buildings with most LEED certificates. That means that these figures do not reflect the overall number of LEED certified buildings in the U.S., because it only shows the figures for the main categories.
Also note that the figures provided are cumulative - meaning that all buildings with such a certification are included, even if they were built or certified several years ago.
