Croatia Green Building Council

Since it was founded in 2009 by 20 respected companies as a non-profit organization, the CGBC had gathered more than 100 members from the fields of architecture, construction, producers of construction materials and technologies, banking and insurance sector, as well as from professional and consulting institutions. We all think and act green, forming an important group of people who lead new trends and changes the picture of the environment in which we live and work.

 

We are part of the World Green Building Council (www.worldgbc.org) and the European regional network of GBC’s and we take place at many international, regional or local conferences, meetings, symposiums in cooperation with other Green Building Councils.

 

The goal of the CGBC and its members is to represent a national platform for the promotion of sustainable building practices trough different activities, and to be the drivers of positive change in Croatia in terms of sustainable development and green building. One of the main activities of the CGBC is to educate, and to spread the information and knowledge about planning and building of construction projects and their use with the goal of sustainability, taking in consideration the interests of those who use the facilities, environmental protection, social responsibility and economic viability. Therefore, the Green Building Council is organizing:

• Symposium for experts  
• Better Building Brunch and Better Building Breakfast events
• Green Building Professional – yearly educational
• Educations for green building certifications (LEED; BREEAM; DGNB)
• Green Labos – daily interactive workshops
• We take place on many conferences, fairs, symposiums and other events

We celebrate World Green Building Week, Croatian Green Building Week, Green Apple Day of service.
