Description

Broadly referred to as "green" construction, the field of environmentally focused design and construction, which once seemed like a fad, has become mainstream. Many federal, state, and local initiatives either mandate or incentivize green building, and the green building market continues to grow, despite declining commercial and residential construction. Just as construction claims and disputes often accompany conventional construction projects, it is only a matter of time before green construction claims and disputes accompany green construction projects. (1) Green building litigation--or LEEDigation, as some commentators have coined it--could likely become prevalent in the near future because of the unique and unknown risks that accompany building green and the rising number of inexperienced entrants into the field. (2) This article focuses on the hidden legal risks that owners, designers, and contractors should consider before undertaking a green project. This article also presumes that the reader possesses a modicum of familiarity with green building certification and the U.S. Green Building Council's (USGBC) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system, which is currently the most popular green building rating system.
