TRANSCRIPT
In 2016, we celebrated our 15 year anniversary as an organization dedicated to
making every building a green building because we know that GREEN
BUILDINGS ARE BETTER . . . better for people, better for the environment, and
better for the bottom line. In honor of this milestone, our interactive Green
Buildings Are Better display visited 35 of our members, sponsors, and partners
collecting your “Green Buildings Are Better” comments. We are excited to share
a few comments below, along with highlights of our work in 2016.
Green Buildings are better because “45% of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions
come from residential and commercial building operations—every green
building counts!”
We addressed building energy use and emissions through our benchmarking
efforts. In 2016, we held 3 Benchmarking Jams, where our volunteers assisted
over 30 building owners benchmark their energy use. We also assisted the City of
St. Louis with a successful City Energy Project grant and the introduction of the
Building Energy Awareness ordinance. This ordinance (which passed in January
2017) requires buildings 50,000 square feet and above to track and report
energy and water use annually.
Green Buildings are better because
“they cost less to operate.”
Through our on-going educational
programs, we provide opportunities
to learn about cutting edge green
& sustainable technology,
strategies, and more, In 2016, 25
unique educational events
reached over 1,650 individuals.
Green Buildings are better because
“green buildings are healthy buildings.”
We work towards healthier buildings & spaces with
our community partners. In 2016, we helped
Thomas Dunn Learning Center towards a better
building with a volunteer-led Green Building Plan
Builder workshop. Our Emerging Professionals
organized days of service with EarthDance Farms
and Energy Care. In addition, we highlighted the WELL Building System, a new
rating system that supports health and well-being in the built environment, at a
monthly evening program and an in-depth seminar.
Green Buildings are better because
“they help build a sustainable future.”
We look towards the future with our Green
Schools Quest. 2,400 participants in 45 school
-mentor teams impacted nearly 25,000
individuals with their sustainability projects!
Vision: To create and restore
buildings and communities that will
regenerate and sustain the health
and vitality of all life within a
generation.
Mission: To initiate, develop and
accelerate implementation of
green building concepts,
technologies and principles
that promote environmentally
responsible, prosperous and healthy
places to live, work, and learn.

“[The Green Schools Quest] is one of
the greatest local resources available
to enable positive change to occur,
for our current and future
generations. It's truly at the heart of
being a sustainable school system.
The aspect of the Quest . . . I enjoy is
the connectivity to our community.
Through the Quest, I've been able
make and foster connections with
local community members that I
otherwise would never have been
able to engage with.”

In addition to the above support, we also benefited from the kind
support of 130 volunteers who contributed 3,500 hours of their time
and talent in 2016. Volunteers are our greatest renewable resource!
“Participating in the Green Schools
Quest gave our recycling club a
clear and impactful goal, and

“[USGBC’s Emerging Professionals] were
given a great opportunity to lead a group
of members in an annual day of
service. The goal was to look for a way to
leverage our unique talents while
providing value for EarthDance Farms in
support of the work that they do. Our
team really came together, and we were
able to provide EarthDance with a new
storage solution for the materials they
reuse throughout the farm. It was a
rewarding day helping an educational
sustainable farm enhance their operation.
