Green building may represent more than half of all commercial and institutional construction as soon as 2016. CleanTechnica looks into a new report from the USGBC entitled "LEED in Motion: People and Progress," that details green building's exponential growth and outlines both the value of the industry and its reach into American Lives. Among the highlights:

More than 6.2 million people interact with LEED projects every day during their daily routine
