New Zealand Green Building Council

The New Zealand Green Building council (NZGBC) is a not-for-profit, industry organisation. Our vision is to make all homes and buildings in Aotearoa green and sustainable, making healthier, happier New Zealanders.

We do this through:

• Promoting the benefits of sustainable buildings by creating a common language and demonstrating the value.
• Assisting the property and construction sector to acquire the skills and knowledge to be able to deliver a sustainable built environment.
• Motivation and rewarding the sustainable development and operation of buildings across New Zealand

The NZGBC was established in July 2005 and in 2006 became a member of the Word Green Building Council (WorldGBC). The WorldGBC is an international not-for-profit organisation that aims to move the global property industry and built environment towards sustainability, with Green Building councils being established in various countries around the world.

As an active driver for sustainability in New Zealand, NZGBC is eager to take responsibility in its own GHG emissions. We are committed to work towards a low carbon operation and lifestyle and contribute to the national carbon reduction targets.
