Peter Templeton has shaped the global green building movement for over 25 years, serving as President and CEO of USGBC since October 2022. As a founding member of USGBC’s leadership team, he was instrumental in developing and launching LEED, the world’s most widely adopted green building rating system. His work directing green building certification in over 150 countries positions him as a bridge between building performance standards and climate science, directly complementing CRREM’s mission to establish science-based real estate decarbonization pathways.
