Abstract

This study examines the effect of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) ratings and certification levels on Assessed (AV) and Market Values (MV), while controlling for a property's characteristics and its location. The overall dataset was developed by combining information from CoStar Group, U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), and local Assessors/Treasurer. The results indicate that ENERGY STAR designation increases AV and MV substantially. The effect of LEED rating/level on both of these values (AV and MV) can be differentiated based on the level of geographic aggregation. LEED-Existing Building (EB) designation at the Gold level has a strong positive effect on AV, while LEED-EB at the Silver level has a similar effect on both AV and MV. This effect is absent among all LEED-EBs, when controlling only for MSAs. LEED-New Construction at the Gold level has a strong positive effect on MV, while LEED-Core & Shell at the Gold and Silver levels almost doubles that effect on AV, when controlling for MSAs.
