U.S. Green Building Council

The U.S. Green Building Council uses education, outreach, and research to transform the way buildings and communities are designed, built and operated to contribute to a more environmentally and socially responsible built environment. It will use this grant to ensure that the challenges and needs of multifamily housing are prominently discussed at one of the world’s largest gatherings focused on green building design and operations: Greenbuild International Conference and Expo, and that conference proceedings document how affordable rental housing can be better served by the wide coalition of stakeholders seeking to address environmental concerns by improving buildings’ energy efficiency.
