The USGBC and its member organizations are dedicated to transforming our built environment so that the places we live, work, learn and play become tools in our quest for environmental sustainability, economic prosperity and social equity. Buildings represent a tremendous opportunity to mitigate climate change, conserve water, reduce pollution and nurture human health. The green building movement will only succeed in maximizing this opportunity if we all actively engage in an ongoing conversation to drive innovation and transform the marketplace. The USGBC community is the heart of this critical conversation.
USGBC’s diverse contributions include the LEED® green building certification program, the Greenbuild International Conference & Expo, a robust selection of educational offerings, a thriving network of local chapters making grassroots change across the country, and proactive advocacy and outreach to promote public policy to pave the way for a more sustainable built environment. All of this vital work is powered by an industry-led, consensus-driven process that centers on our membership.
