• 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.

Council programs are: Committee-Based, Member-Driven, and Consensus-Focused
As the leading organization representing the entire industry on environmental building matters, our unique perspective and collective power provides our members with enormous opportunity to effect change in the way buildings are designed, built and maintained.
