Iowa U.S. Green Building Council's focus is to promote and enable the integration of sustainable practices into Iowa’s built environment! Being green has become mainstream. At the same time, achieving sustainability on a large scale is still very far off. The pace of change must increase. The USGBC Iowa Chapter is keenly aware of the scope and scale of these challenges— and we are prepared to lead the transformation toward sustainable communities. Our vision: Iowa is a place where all people live, work, and build sustainably into Iowa’s built environment!
The USGBC Iowa Chapter’s Guiding Principles provide the foundation and serve as touchstones by which the Chapter evaluates the success and integrity of its work:
- Promote the Triple Bottom Line
- Establish Leadership
- Reconcile Humanity with Nature
- Respect Social Equity
- Maintain Integrity
- Ensure Inclusiveness
- Exhibit Transparency
Membership sets you apart and gives you a competitive edge by connecting you to a world of resources and networking opportunities.
Our Chapter's greatest strength is the diversity of our growing membership. The U.S. Green Building Council - Iowa Chapter brings together a diverse community of professionals from businesses that design, construct, manage, finance, insure, own, and occupy buildings as well as product manufacturers, government agencies, and nonprofits. These leaders have learned that you can green the built environment and green your bottom line.
