Our communities and their built environments will restore and sustain the health and well being of life for current and future generations.
USGBC Utah is the regional arm of the U.S. Green Building Council and is based in Salt Lake City, Utah. Our primary purpose is to raise awareness of green building principles and practices among the green building community and general public as well as provide a forum for communication, networking and recognition for the green building community.
Partners and members include local green building enthusiasts, spanning the industry from real estate professionals to designers, owners, engineers and product representatives. We strive to engage a broad green building community to help progress our vision and mission and work toward a sustainable and regenerative built environment within a generation.
The mission of USGBC Utah is to create an environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable way of life by transforming how neighborhoods and buildings are designed, built, and operated. We hope to achieve this mission through education and outreach to our community and transformation of our built environment.
