Turkey LEEDs in 6th Place

Mavi Boncuk |

Turkey is a leading country in building LEED-certified projects.
Earlier this year, USGBC released the Top 10 Countries for LEED, featuring Turkey, for the third year in a row, with 245 LEED-certified projects and 6.15 million certified gross square meters. At Greenbuild Europe in Berlin, we recognized some of the companies behind this incredible work.

Behind every LEED project is a team of professionals responsible for ushering the project through the certification process. They are architects, consultants, designers and other professionals—and their expertise is driving change in the built environment.
