The Connecticut Green Building Council (CTGBC) is a chapter of the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) which covers the State of Connecticut.
The CTGBC is a non-profit 501(c3) organization that seeks to improve the quality of life in Connecticut through the promotion of intelligently designed and constructed high performance energy efficient buildings. Throughout the year we hold a series of workshops on green building topics, networking opportunities, membership meetings, educational forums, seminars on green buildings and periodic CT based LEED™ training in connection with the US Green Building Council. The CTGBC also monitors activities in Connecticut related to high performance green buildings and maintains a speaker’s bureau.
The CTGBC membership consists of individuals, forming a green building community; companies are welcomed as sponsors and may designate a number of individuals as members according to their level of sponsorship.
