The first in a series, USGBC’s Living Standard US Public Research report includes some of the Living Standards campaign’s in-depth qualitative and quantitative research on people’s views of the environment. USGBC has worked to prove that buildings can mitigate climate-related risks if created with forethought and compassion. But, the green building community has not reached the broader population effectively enough to change their behavior on the scale necessary to combat climate-related risks. This research questions conventional wisdom and experience related to people’s views of the environment.
