BOOTH #131

U.S. Green Building Council-Greater Houston Area Chapter is a cross-cultural 501-c3 organiza-tion dedicated to the construction of eco-friendly, energy-efficient homes, schools, buildings and neighborhoods.

The chapter transforms the expec-tations people have of their built

environments and thereby changes the expecta-tions they have of themselves and their communities through the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification process.

This is a third-party verification system that incor-porates all the best and innovative practices of the current marketplace and uses them to vet whether or not a building has achieved the highest standards of environmental stewardship and energy-efficiency.
