To advance our strategic plan, we provide green building education, promote new green building policy with the help of building professionals, and support existing buildings through several key community programs. Learn more about our work below.

Educating sustainability professionals
Through volunteer and staff-driven education, we host over 30 programs each year designed to deliver the latest trends in green building, share technical expertise, and convene experts to put us on the path to net zero.

Removing barriers to high performance building in Illinois
By connecting building professionals with policymakers, we help inform the development of new policy that will grow the demand for more sustainable building practices.

Supporting schools on their sustainability journey
The Illinois Green Schools Project leverages the expertise of our members to educate teachers, students, and school officials about sustainability and help them advance actions that will make their school more sustainable and healthy.

Supporting community-oriented organizations on the path to high performance
With the support of our members, the Neighborhood Power Project provides both pro-bono consulting services and financial support to address sustainable building operations, identify retrofit opportunities, and save money.
