USGBC (U.S. Green Building Council)
Washington D. C., Estados Unidos
American non-profit organisation that develops and administers LEED, the most widely recognised sustainable building certification system in the world. Founded in 1993, it brings together companies, administrations and professionals to transform the way buildings and communities are designed, built and operated. LEED scores aspects of energy, water, materials, indoor quality and site location. It matters for decarbonising construction because its global framework guides developers and designers towards lower energy consumption, more responsible materials and, increasingly, reduction of embodied and operational carbon.
