USGBC Northern California chapter focuses on improving indoor environments in green buildings
By BD+C Staff
The Northern California branch of the U.S. Green Building Council is leading the “Building Health Initiative” that seeks to improve the indoor environment of green buildings.
More than two-dozen partners—including Adobe, Google, Genentech and Salesforce—together with contractors, architects, designers and building materials makers, are involved. They intend to raise awareness about the health effects of the built environment.
“By helping to elevate and expand the conversation around health impacts of the built environment, this initiative is an important step in spurring real industry change and momentum for greater materials transparency and education,” said Anthony Ravitz of Google.
