The US Green Building Council released for public comment a 3rd round of draft benchmarks to evaluate forest certification programs.
We were in Phoenix last week at the Us green Building Council’s well-attended Green Build Expo.
This is the 5th year SFI has participated in the USGBC’s Green Build Expo, and over the years the SFI team has spent countless hours in the exhibit hall talking with architects, developers, and policy makers, among others, about sustainability, about the important role of forest certification, and about the evolution of green building.
SFI welcomes the work the USGBC is doing. Their work and the inclusive approach they are considering reflects the direction many other green building programs have taken.
