USGBC Database of Public Policy Initiatives

The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) is committed to supporting federal, state and local governments in their pursuit and development of green building programs and initiatives. USGBC and its 70-plus chapter network are involved at all levels of government, helping to educate and advocate for healthier, more resource-efficient and more sustainable buildings for all.

USGBC's Database of Public Policies is an online tool that visitors can use to search for existing public policies based on numerous criteria, such as level of government, date of passage, location, type of building, LEED rating system, and whether it was incentive-based or mandatory.
