U.S. Companies Increase Spending on Green Building

Through 2017, a rebound in U.S. construction activity will propel growth in green building materials demand, according to a new market research report, Green Building Materials by The Freedonia Group. Growth in construction will promote base demand for such products as carpeting, gypsum board, concrete and metal building products, while products that contribute to the earning of LEED certification will see an additional boost in sales.
