41、natural environment, economy, health, and productivity. Breakthroughs in building science, technology, and operations are now available to designers, builders, operators, and owners who want to build green and maximize both economic and environmental performance. The U.S. Green Building Council (USG
42、BC) is coordinating a national consensus effort to provide the industry with the tools necessary to design, build, and operate buildings that deliver high performance inside and out. Council members work together to de- velop design and construction practices, guidelines, operating practices and gui
43、delines, policy positions, and educational tools that support sustainable design and building practices. Members also forge strategic alliances with industry and research organizations, federal government agencies, and state and local governments to transform the built environment. As the leading or
44、ganization that represents the entire building industry on environmental building matters, USGBCs unique perspective and leadership en- able our members to effect change in the way buildings are designed, built, operated and maintained. The LEED Green Building Rating System is the nationally accepte
45、d benchmark for the design, construction, and operation of high-performance green buildings. LEED gives building owners and operators the tools they need to have an immediate and measurable impact on their buildings performance. LEED promotes a whole-building approach to sustainability by recognizin
46、g performance in sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection, and indoor environmental quality and it rewards innovation in building design. USGBC Membership The Councils greatest strength is the diversity of its membership. USGBC is a balanced, consensus nonp
47、rofit organization representing the entire building industry, comprising more than 14,000 companies and organizations. Since its inception in 1993, USGBC has played a vital role in providing a leadership forum and a unique, integrating force for the building industry. USGBC programs are distinguishe
48、d by several features: Committee-basedThe heart of this effective coalition is the committee structure, in which volunteer members design strategies that are implemented by staff and expert consultants. USGBC committees provide a forum for members to resolve differences, build al- liances, and forge
49、 cooperative solutions for influencing change in all sectors of the building industry. Member-drivenMembership is open and balanced and provides a comprehensive platform for car- rying out important programs and activities. USGBC targets the issues identified by its members as the highest priority. In annual reviews of achievements, USGBC sets policy, revises strategies, and devises work plans based on members needs. Consensus-focusedUSGBC members work together to promote green buildings and, in doing so, help foster greater economic vitality and environmental health at lower
