Industry Recognized Green Building Authorities

The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) is a coalition of leaders from every sector of the building industry working to promote buildings that are environmentally responsible, profitable and healthy places to live and work. Its network of 6,000 member organizations work together to develop a variety of programs and services, and forge strategic alliances with key industry and research organizations and federal, state and local agencies.

This Green building authority has market specific, LEED-NC, LEED-EB, LEED-CI and LEED-CS for the commercial sector and LEED-H for the residential sector. Bostik is an active member of the U.S.G.B.C. and Silver Level sponsor of the NEXUS Green Building Resource Center in Boston, Massachusetts.

The GBI is a resource for common sense information about energy efficient and environmentally sustainable building practice. A not-for-profit education initiative, the GBI is supported by a broad cross section of organizations and individuals with an interest in residential and commercial construction. The GBI helps builders, developers, architects, building owners and others involved in residential and commercial construction better understand green building, access tools to help incorporate green building techniques, understand evolving consumer attitudes, and communicate green building principles to consumers. Bostik is an active GBI Bronze Level Sponsor.

NAHB's voluntary Model Green Home Building Guidelines are designed to be a tool kit for the individual builder looking to engage in green building practices and home builder associates (HBAs) looking to launch their own local green building programs. Since their debut in 2005, the Guidelines have helped move environmentally friendly home building concepts further into the mainstream marketplace. The NAHB Model Green Home Building Guideline represents a Residential Market complement to the USGBC LEED Commercial program.

Currently their are approximately 50 locally grown green building programs across the country, many of which are run by the local home builders' association (HBA). Eleven of these programs are voluntary, HBA-driven efforts, based on the NAHB Model Green Home Building Guildelines; and approximately ten additional Guideline-based programs are under development.
