Our Mission

The primary mission of the Rhode Island Green Building Council is to transform the way buildings are designed, built and operated in the state of Rhode Island in order to promote environmentally and socially responsible, healthy, aesthetically pleasing and durable communities that protect the state’s cultural heritage and natural environment and improve the quality of life.

Standing, left to right: Connie McGreavy, Exec. Director, RI Green Building Council; Christie Smith, Executive Director, Potter League and Pete Peters, Chair, Building Committee.

The Rhode Island Green Building Council offers an array of educational and outreach events statewide on the merits of green building and energy efficiency. Try out our virtual green marketplace, monthly educational seminars, or let us provide a speaker for your school, business or private event.

The chapter also hosts LEED™ workshops and LEED exam study sessions for individuals pursuing U.S. Green Building Council professional credentials such as the Green Associate or LEED AP (Accredited Professional). LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design-- the USGBC's green building standard.
