gb # 14 green building council

One of the members of the U.S. Green Building Council chapter forming in Charlotte, NC was in attendance this afternoon as we watched The End of Suburbia. I want to make others in the area aware that this organization is coming to our region.

What is the U.S. Green Building Council?

• The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) is leading a national consensus for producing a new generation of buildings that deliver high performance inside and out.
• Council members work together to develop LEED^® products and resources, the Greenbuild annual International Conference and Expo, policy guidance, and educational and marketing tools that support the adoption of sustainable building.

• Members also forge strategic alliances with key industry and research organizations and federal, state and local government agencies to transform the built environment.
