Over ten years ago a group of dreamers came together to create a Colorado community aligned with environmental and social stewardship. Our volunteers quickly coalesced to educate, inspire, and communicate about sustainable buildings and communities, and recruit likeminded folk, spreading the word across the land. Please join us as we transform the places we live, learn, work, and play!

Primarily, USGBC is known for its signature program, the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) green building certification system for buildings, homes and communities. LEED provides a framework that guides building design, construction, operations and maintenance.
USGBC Colorado works with a number of local non-profits and communities on variety programs such as Energy Star, Certifiably Green Denver, and the Green Apple Day of Service.
USGBC Colorado has been instrumental in advocating for local ordinances and state statutes that support healthy, sustainable communities. These include graywater legislation and a Green addendum to the multiple listing service to better inform home buyers and sellers.
