commentWelcome to our annual ranking of the greenest design firms in the region. These companies generated over $110 million in revenue designing projects within Arizona, Nevada and New Mexico that were officially registered with a third party rating system such as LEED or equivalent. The ranking is based on 2009 revenue and only includes projects that are being built with certification as a goal. This total is up from $88 million in 2008. Designers reported working on 230 projects that are seeking certification, down from 281 the year before.
