ABC LEADS GREEN BUILDING WAVE (08/15/2008)
Associated Builders and Contractors has been at the forefront of the green building movement since the beginning. ABC member, SIGAL Construction (Metro Washington Chapter) who started SIGAL Environmental was a green building pioneer in the early 80’s and went on to become a founding member of the U.S. Green Building Council and one of the authors of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design rating system. More and more ABC members are getting involved in utilizing a sustainable construction approach.
ABC understands that environmentally responsible construction is important and will help ensure a long and lasting future for generations to come. With this in mind, ABC National has elevated the Green Building Advisory Group, that has kept us in front of this important shift in emphasis within the construction industry, to full committee status. The ABC National Green Building Committee will look towards a mission of providing leadership to strengthen ABC members’ ability to build responsibly and thrive in the green economy through education, awareness and advocacy to chapters and member firms. Stay tuned for updates on the ABC National green initiatives.
