Green projects typically cost more to implement but recoup a higher lifetime return on your investment. The savings in money come from more efficient use of utilities which result in decreased energy bills. It is projected that different industry sectors could save $130 billion on energy bills by using green building techniques more widely. Also, higher worker or student productivity can be factored into savings and cost deductions.

Studies have shown over a 20-year life period, some green buildings have yielded $53 to $71 per square foot back on investment. Confirming the rentability of green building investments, further studies of the commercial real estate market have found that LEED and Energy Star certified buildings achieve significantly higher rents, sale prices and occupancy rates as well as lower capitalization rates potentially reflecting lower investment risk
