LEED Certified Projects in Northern California


     Barack Obama for President


This chart lists all Northern California building projects that have achieved LEED certification. As of our latest update, in late August 2008, we are aware of 112 LEED certified projects that are located in Northern California.

This listing is updated monthly; it is primarily compiled from the information that is provided in the searchable Certified Projects database at USGBC.org. If you know of a project in Northern California that has been certified by the USGBC but that is not yet listed on this chart, please notify us.

For the purposes of this listing, the Northern California region is defined to include Monterey County and all California counties to the north and east of Monterey County. This listing does not include projects in San Luis Obispo County or any counties to the east or south of San Luis Obispo County.

The projects listed directly below are located in the San Francisco Bay Area. This section includes projects in San Francisco, the East Bay, North Bay, and South Bay. Below that is a section that lists projects located in counties north of the Bay Area, south of the Bay Area, and directly east of the Bay Area.
