Florida Green Building Coalition, Inc.
FGBC is a nonprofit Florida Corporation dedicated to improving the built environment. Its mission is "to provide a statewide Green Building program with environmental and economic benefits."

FGBC was conceived and founded on the belief that green building programs will be most successful if there are clear and meaningful principles on which "green" qualification and marketing are based. FGBC is a membership-based organization governed by a Board of Directors and Corporate Officers who are elected by vote of the general membership.
