Economic Impact Study Release

Green Construction Economic Impact Study

USGBC released the 2015 Green Construction Economic Impact Study in mid-September. In addition to the study, we have released some resources for advocates to use to promote the findings in the study and to use as an advocacy tool with policymakers.

We held a policymaker virtual town hall that was attended by 20 policymakers from across the country. You can view the presentation here.

Also, we have developed a template email that state advocates can use to share the report with the state's legislature. You can find the email here:
