The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), founded in
1993, is a non-profit trade organization that promotes sustainability
in how buildings are designed, built and operated. The USGBC is best
known for the development of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system and Greenbuild, a green building conference that promotes the green building industry, including environmentally responsible materials, sustainable architecture techniques and public policy.
USGBC has more than 15,000 member organizations from every sector of
the building industry and works to promote buildings that are
environmentally responsible, profitable and healthy places to live and
work. To achieve this it has developed a variety of programs and
services, and works closely with key industry and research
organizations and federal, state and local government agencies.
USGBC also offers a host of educational opportunities, including
workshops and Web-based seminars to educate the public and industry
professionals on different elements of the green building industry,
from the basics to more technical information. Through its Green Building Certification Institute,
formerly the LEED Accredited Professional program, USGBC offers
industry professionals the chance to develop expertise in the field of
green building and to receive accreditation as green building
professionals.
