LEED and Three Star: dual certification demand

China is the number one LEED market outside the United States, with over 26 million gross square metres of certified space. Shanghai, Beijing, and Shenzhen are the leading cities. Multinational corporations operating in China frequently require LEED for their facilities, driving consistent demand.

China's domestic Three Star Green Building Evaluation Standard operates in parallel. Government projects often require Three Star certification, while commercial developments with international tenants pursue LEED. China's 2060 carbon neutrality commitment and the 14th Five-Year Plan for green building development are accelerating mandatory requirements nationwide.
