Collaboration and information sharing at events like USGBC’s upcoming Greenbuild Conference are vital to driving progress in green buildings.

The American Chemistry Council (ACC) believes in the power of collaboration to drive change and innovation. During the U.S. Green Building Council’s (USGBC) Greenbuild conference , leaders in green building come together to share exemplary practices and learn about new products and trends that can help enhance sustainability, resiliency, health and wellness in the built environment.

ACC and our members are committed to being a part of these important discussions, as the products of chemistry contribute to innovative solutions that can help tackle the world’s most pressing sustainability challenges, from addressing climate change and carbon impacts to enhancing building resiliency and promoting understanding of materials science and informed product selection.

Addressing Climate Change & Carbon Impacts

Addressing climate change is crucial to creating a healthy and sustainable planet. From renewable energy sources and building materials that help save energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, chemical products and technologies are vital to support the fight against climate change.
