The Delaware Valley Green Building Council was formed in November 2001 by a group of individuals representing many sectors of the area’s construction related industry with a common interest in promoting sustainable design in the Delaware Valley. With the generous initial support of the Carpenter’s Company of Philadelphia and The Pennsylvania Resources Council and many other volunteer efforts the group is now established as an independent 501(c)(3) and is affiliated with the national USGBC.



Our goal is to become the regional point of contact for users, agencies and companies interested in green building; and to foster cooperation and collaboration among organizations dedicated to environmental responsibility and sustainability.



Mission Statement

Our mission is to advance and promote sustainable and environmentally responsible planning, design, construction and operation of the region’s buildings, landscapes, cities and communities, mindful of the legacy left for future generations.
