Top LEED-Certified Buildings in New Jersey in 2020 A roundup of Garden State office projects that earned LEED certification last year, based on U.S. Green Building Council data By Anca Gagiuc - March 15, 2021 New Jersey’s energy master plan, announced by Gov. Phil Murphy, is set to moderate the state’s reliance on fossil fuels and reach clean energy goals of 50 percent by 2030 and 100 percent by 2050. Statewide goals include targets for transportation, grid infrastructure, workforce development and environmental justice, as well as maximizing energy ef ciency in buildings. By retro tting existing buildings and upgrading associated equipment, the plan shows the Garden State has the potential to save more than 4 million megawatt-hours of electricity in the residential sector and more than 10 million megawatt-hours in the commercial and industrial sectors by 2029. Furthermore, every new state building construction needs to earn a minimum of LEED Silver certi cation. Based on U.S. Green Building Council data, we took a look at the state’s performance in 2020 from a LEED certi cation perspective. We’ve found that New Jersey had 30 commercial projects certi ed in 2020, including of ces, K-12 facilities, higher education, lodging, retail and warehouses/distribution centers, accounting for more than 6 million gross square feet.
