1. The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) is the nation’s foremost coalition of leaders from across the building industry.
Industry-led and consensus-driven, the Council is as diverse as the marketplace it serves. Membership includes building owners and end-users, real estate developers, facility managers, architects, designers, engineers, general contractors, subcontractors, product and building system manufacturers, government agencies, and nonprofits.  Leaders from within each of these sectors participate in the development of the LEED Rating Systems and the direction of the Council through volunteer service on USGBC’s open committees.

3. Driving USGBC’s mission to transform the built environment is a robust set of tools, including the LEED Green Building Rating System™, which is now accessible through LEED-Online, and supported by a robust LEED Workshop program and LEED Professional Accreditation program.
In addition, the Council supports a rich education and research agenda, it also supports an aggressive education and advocacy program delivered at the local level through 70 chapters across the United States.
Since its founding in 1993, USGBC has been focused on fulfilling the building and construction industry’s vision for its own transformation to high-performance green building.

4. 70 chapters, affiliates and organizing groups are the front door of USGBC across the U.S. Here’s where the work is delivered – in city halls, county commissions, zoning boards and permitting offices. Here’s where the network is forged that allows a single voice for green building to be shaped and used to move the transformation forward.
From our rapidly growing emerging green builders network to our CEO Roundtables, Federal summits, NGO briefings, and member circles, we link common interests in ways that can advance the larger common good.
