It's time to Go Green. That’s why we’ve spent the last year organizing a local chapter of the US Green Building Council to bring the same opportunity to others. Take a moment and find out how to join!

Welcome to the Ocean State’s information source for green building.

Over 150 dedicated “can do” individuals have been busy getting this ship ready to sail—

In May of this year, the Rhode Island Green Building Council received full chapter status and NOW, you can become a member.The chapter has been hosting LEED workshops, LEED exam study sessions, free monthly educational seminars, providing speakers at various outreach events, supporting student groups and educating legislators on the merits of green building and energy efficiency.

A board of directors meets monthly to chart a strategic course that will be appropriate for Rhode Island and one that aligns with the national organization’s goals. Meetings are well attended and open to the public.

It takes a lot of effort to “get off the mark”. We’d like to thank our Founding Sponsors for making the first leg of our journey possible.
