Resources and Opportunities : EPA's Green Building Programs

EPA's Green Building Workgroup was formed in July 2003 to bring together the many programs across the Agency that work with the building and development sectors to improve their environmental performance. Workgroup members strive for a built environment that protects and enhances the health of ecosystems and the public.

EPA has green building programs that provide resources in the following areas:

  • Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy
  • Water Stewardship
  • Environmentally Preferable Building Materials and Specifications
  • Waste Reduction
  • Toxics
  • Indoor Environment
  • Smart Growth and Sustainable Development

For more information, please visit the EPA Green Buildings Web site.
