CASCADIA REGION GREEN BUILDING COUNCIL

The Cascadia Region Green Building Council promotes the design, construction and operation of buildings that are environmentally responsible, profitable and healthy places to live and work in Oregon, Washington and British Columbia. The Cascadia Region Green Building Council is one of the inaugural chapters of the U.S. and Canada Green Building Councils. Incorporated in December 1999, the chapter covers Oregon, Washington and British Columbia, and is the only cross border chapter in North America. By June 2005, the chapter had 650 members, mostly companies or agencies that in turn represent hundreds or even thousands of individuals interested in a better way of building. Cascadia has offices in Portland and Seattle and plans to open a Vancouver office this year.
