Connecticut LEED
Community Mission
To connect the public and professions with holistic sustainable practices and frameworks to support a healthy, sustainable, equitable and resilient built transformation.
Community Vision
Buildings in Connecticut are not as sustainable, healthy, resilient, or equitable as they could be.
We aim to empower the construction industry and everyday people with strategies to benchmark and transform existing and new buildings and communities that support a prosperous vision for Connecticut.
The LEED Community is excited to engage a wide variety of members and stakeholders. Anyone is welcome to join you do not need to be a LEED professional, architect, or engineer to participate!
As the USGBC LEED Community, we offer a variety of ways to engage a wide USGBC community beyond Connecticut and offer Accredited Professional Continuing Education Units (CEUs) and other educational resources.
Please get in touch if you are interested in becoming a co-leader.
Join our monthly Community Roundtable on second Tuesdays at 4:30 every month.

About the U.S. Green Building Council ® (USGBC)
LEED is the world’s leading green building program and performance management system, delivering a comprehensive framework for green building design, construction, operations and performance. Today’s version of LEED raises the bar on building standards to address carbon, energy efficiency, water conservation, site selection, material selection, day lighting and waste reduction. With a rigorous focus on material selection, air quality and human health and comfort, project teams can prioritize the most important asset of a LEED project—people.
LEED-certified buildings are proven to save money, improve efficiency, lower carbon emissions and create healthier places for people. They are critical to addressing the climate crisis, meeting ESG goals, enhancing resilience, and supporting more equitable communities.
