About the Chapter
The U.S. Green Building Council is committed to a prosperous and sustainable future for our nation through cost-efficient and energy-saving green buildings. With a community comprising 78 local affiliates, more than 20,000 member companies and organizations, and more than 140,000 LEED Credentialed Professionals, USGBC is the driving force of an industry that is projected to soar to $60 billion by 2010.
