About FGBC

 

The Florida Green Building Coalition (FGBC) is a nonprofit Florida corporation dedicated to improving the built environment. Our mission is "to provide a statewide green building program with environmental and economic benefits."

 

To access all of the features on this website, login using your membership account information or if you are not a member, create a new username and password of your choice.

 

FGBC was conceived and founded in the belief that green building programs will be most successful if there are clear and meaningful principles on which "green" qualification and marketing are based. We are a membership-based organization governed by a Board of Directors and corporate officers who are elected by the general membership.

 

Membership is open to any interested individual, company or government entity. You are encouraged to join the FGBC and participate fully in this exciting and important environmental endeavor.

 

The FGBC is constantly finding new and innovative ways to educate builders, developers, local governments, and consumers about how to achieve a healthier, more environmentally sustainable future.

 

The many resources offered by the FGBC include our five green building standards (listed below), the annual GreenTrends Conference, resources for finding green products and professionals, and education programs for industry professionals, consumers and government entities.

GreenTrends Conference
Whether it's new construction techniques, innovative products or services, or advanced technology, our annual GreenTrends Conference offers a comprehensive package of education, training and networking that will benefit every member of your corporate team. This year GreenTrends will be co-located with the Southeast Building Conference in Orlando and will offer more than 1,000 exciting exhibits, including special sections featuring green building resources and disaster mitigation products.

 

Florida Green Building Magazine
The Florida Green Building Coalition, in partnership with the Florida Home Builders Association (FHBA), is pleased to bring you the premier issue of Florida Green Building magazine.
