![Chart of all the green building activity and the steps companies are using to build green by the World Green Building Trends report by Dodge Data & Analytics](https://connect.regencycenters.com/hs-fs/hubfs/blog-files/feature-16x9-wgbt-trends-2.jpg?width=609&height=343&name=feature-16x9-wgbt-trends-2.jpg "feature-16x9-wgbt-trends-2.jpg")

Clients and tenants worldwide are increasingly demanding sustainability – for both energy efficiency and occupant benefit — and green building continues to double every three years, according to the *World Green Building Trends 2016* report by Dodge Data & Analytics.

The findings of the report, which received funding from [United Technologies](http://www.CCS.UTC.com), were presented by Bob McDonough, President, UTC Climate, Controls & Security at the recent 2015 Greenbuild International Summit in Washington, DC.

“It’s critical that building industry professionals have the latest data and trends to inform designs and decisions,” said McDonough. “This information is valuable as we look to accelerate buildings that will foster sustainable, healthy environments.”
