The U.S. Green Building Council-Georgia Chapter was formed in January 2009 when the Atlanta and Savannah Chapters merged together. The State Chapter was formed to advance and promote sustainable and environmentally responsible planning, design, construction and operation of the State’s buildings, landscapes, cities and communities.
The Georgia State Chapter currently operates Branches in Atlanta, Augusta and Savannah territory areas. We also have Organizing Groups in Athens, Columbus and Macon, and expect them to be fully-operating Branches by January 2011.
The purpose of the Georgia State Chapter is to:
Provide regularly scheduled opportunities for members to exchange information with other persons having similar interests;
Raise awareness of Green Building principles and practices among the design, construction and real estate communities as well as the general public;
Provide advanced green building continuing education for our members and green building basics for the general public;
Form partnerships with other local building-related, sustainable and environmental organizations;
Promote membership in the U.S. Green Building Council.
