Featured Projects

The built environment embodies the physical representation of the values that a city or region embaces, and the quality of our built spaces are critical to human health, environmental health, and economic development. For more than three decades, Green Building Alliance has collaborated with regional partners to advance both the demand for and supply of sustainable, high-performance buildings, products, and materials, and to create more sustainable communities.

Read on for a sampling of GBA initiatives and partnerships that have supported healthier people, a healthier planet, and a thriving economy.
