Introduction

The concept of green certification for commercial properties has gained significant attention in recent years as businesses and property owners seek to reduce their environmental impact and operate in a more sustainable manner. Green certification programs, such as LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) and Energy Star, aim to promote energy efficiency, water conservation, and overall sustainability in commercial buildings. This study will explore the impact of green certification on commercial property values, specifically examining whether certified green buildings command higher prices and attract higher rental rates compared to non-certified buildings.
