U.S. Green Building Council North Florida Chapter (USGBCNF)

The USGBCNF Chapter is a 501(c)(3) mission-driven non-profit organization committed to making green buildings available to everyone within a generation.

The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) national is a nonprofit organization composed of
leaders working to advance buildings that are environmentally responsible, profitable and
healthy places to live and work. Driving its mission to transform the built environment is
USGBC’s LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Building Rating
System™, which is accessible online and supported by a robust LEED education workshop
program and the LEED Professional Accreditation program, administered through the
Green Building Certification Institute. USGBC supports a rich education and research
agenda, including Greenbuild, the cutting-edge international conference and expo focused
on green building. USGBC also supports an aggressive education and advocacy program
delivered at the local level through more than 75 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. Today, it includes more than 15,000 member organizations. As a testament to
its leadership, in the past five years alone, USGBC’s membership has grown by more than
500%, and to date more than 3 billion square feet of building space are involved with the
LEED program.

Industry-led and consensus-driven, USGBC is as diverse as the marketplace it serves.

Its membership includes architects, engineers, contractors, real-estate professionals,
government agencies and more. 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.
