United States Green Building Council

The United States Green Building Council (USGBC) is an organization that promotes sustainable building practices. It develops standards and certifications, like LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), to encourage buildings that are energy-efficient, environmentally friendly, and healthier for occupants. By guiding architects, builders, and owners toward eco-conscious choices, USGBC aims to reduce environmental impact, conserve resources, and create healthier spaces. Their work supports broader efforts to combat climate change and promote sustainable development across communities and the built environment.
