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.
