The Case for Support Mission of Market Transformation

Green Schools for Every Child

With more than 400 LEED projects in Kentucky, we rank 33rd in the U.S. for LEED buildings and neighborhoods. Help us grow Kentucky’s green portfolio!

Our goal: For every child in Kentucky to attend a green school within this generation. Help us share information, tools, and provide expertise to school districts about the health, learning, safety and community benefits of green schools.

While incentives, legislation and standards have helped spur growth in green projects, leadership from our Chapters and Members is essential for continued momentum. Help us continue strong advocacy at local and state levels!

The bi-partisan lead Kentucky Green Schools Caucus, was established in 2010 by unanimous votes in the House and Senate. Help us continue the important dialogue in the legislature on green schools.

There are more than 1000 LEED Accredited Professionals in Kentucky. Kentucky USGBC helps meet the demand for credentials with classes for college students, the trades, professionals, property owners and greenminded citizens.Help us educate and build expertise!

Kentucky is home to the nation’s first netzero energy school. A Jessamine County school is the first in Kentucky to pursue LEED Existing Building certification. Help us create other firsts for our students!

Emerging Professional Growth

GEAR UP Leadership Summit

University and college campuses in Kentucky host 60+ LEED projects. There are Student LEED groups on most campuses. Help us transition graduating students from learning in green buildings to designing, building and working in them!

In March, 2015, Kentucky USGBC will host the fifth GEAR UP Leadership Summit for regional chapter leaders, volunteers and invited guests. Help us demonstrate commitment to green building leadership! Over 100 leaders from 12 Chapters in the nine-state Southeast Region will convene. Help us welcome leaders who will share expertise in advocacy, education and programming!

EP membership grew from 5 to 35 in one year. Our EPs serve in other civic and professional organizations: AIA, Women In Design, IFMA, BOMA, NSPE, ASLA, SMPS, PMP, YPAL. Help us retain, recruit, engage and train the next generation of green leaders!
