About Us
The U.S. Green Building Council-NM Chapter
The USGBC - NM Chapter is a local non-profit with a mission: to transform our built environment through education, collaboration and outreach, to promote environmentally responsible practices that are economically and socially beneficial to the community.
We are a membership organization with nearly 200 members. Membership has more than doubled since late 2006 as interest in Green Building and environmental issues is dramatically increasing. As our membership grows we are able to provide more programs to educate and assist professionals with an interest in green building.
