摘要

Each year, the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) ranks the top 10 states for LEED, its green building rating system. This year, Illinois jumped two spots from 2017 to take first place. The 2018 top 10 includes some familiar faces, with eight of the ranked states having positioned in last year's results. Behind Illinois were, in order, Massachusetts, Washington, New York, Texas, Colorado, Hawaii, Virginia, California and Maryland. Washington and Texas were the newcomers.
