Midwest Green Building Case Study Project
The Midwest Green Building Case Study Project (MBGCS), funded by the USGBC, was designed to spur broader and more effective investment in green buildings among the Midwest's real estate professionals, developers, building owners, managers, and tenants. Building case Studies in Chicago, Wisconsin, and Minnesota were designed to fill a current knowledge gap: the lack of detailed case studies focused on the costs, cost savings, and environmental/natural resource benefits of operating green buildings in the Midwest, thereby addressing this known regional market barrier.
