About the USGBC - LI

The U.S. Green Building Council is the nation's foremost 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.

Our Purpose

The purpose of the Long Island Chapter of the US Green Building Council is to mirror and advance the core purpose of the US Green Building Council locally; to transform the way buildings and communities are designed, built and operated, enabling an environmentally and socially responsible, healthy, and prosperous environment that improves the quality of life.

Our Mission

The USGBC-LI is committed to working with our fellow Long Islanders to improve our quality of life by improving the quality of the structures we build, and the environment in which we all live, work, and play. We are committed to leaving the world a little better than we found it so that future generations have an unfettered opportunity to do the same.

Our Honorees

The USGBC-LI Annual Gala is viewed as an opportunity for us to bring attention to individuals on Long Island that have, whether knowingly or not, adopted and implemented our Mission as their own and in so doing have made a significant contribution for the benefit of all Long Islanders.
