Green Building Council Forming In Northeast PA

The Green Building Association of Central Pennsylvania is working with the Pocono Northeast RC&D Council and B.F. Environmental Consultants Inc to start a branch of the organization in Northeast PA.

GBACPA, the local affiliate of the U.S. Green Building Council, is an association of building design and construction professionals, construction materials and equipment suppliers, and other people interested in sustainable design.

The organization provides educational and networking opportunities for green building practitioners and the public, such as tours of local green buildings, seminars on sustainable design and construction practices, educational workshops and LEED training.

GBACPA executive director David Sheridan and Pocono Northeast RC&D Council chair Brian Oram are planning a meeting of people interested in the prospect of a NEPA branch in the fall.

If you are interested in being involved in such a meeting, please contact either Dave 717-497-5768 or send email to: info@gbacpa.org or Brian 570-335-1947 or send email to: bfenviro@ptd.net. Please put GBC in subject.
