Researchers at the University of San Diego's Burnham-Moores Center for Real Estate and CB Richard Ellis find that people who work in green buildings are more productive and call in sick less often than employees who work in conventional buildings.
The recently released study surveyed 154 green buildings, containing some 2,000 tenants, across the United States. Five-hundred-thirty-four of the tenants participated, making the study the largest of its kind so far.
The findings reinforce earlier research on the subject.
