U.S. Green Building Council

The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) is a nonprofit organization focused on promoting sustainable building practices. It develops guidelines and standards to help create environmentally friendly buildings that conserve energy and water, reduce waste, and improve indoor air quality. One of its key initiatives is the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification, which recognizes buildings that meet high sustainability standards. By fostering green building practices, the USGBC aims to improve the quality of life for people and the planet, encouraging healthier communities and reducing the environmental impact of construction.
