BEST PRACTICES CHAMPIONS
Equitable Access to Healthy Communities
Less than twenty percent (20%) of all new construction is built above minimum code. This means that we are failing eighty percent (80%) of the time to implement better designs, advanced technologies or world class policies and processes. More significant is the fact that very few Best Standards of Care project betterments ever make it into undeserved communities. The USGBC TX Best Practices Committee is committed to identifying and knocking down all obstacles preventing equitable pathways for everyone to live, learn, work and play in places that are healthy, safe, and prosperous.
Who are our USGBC TX Best Practices Champions?
USGBC TX Best Practices Champions are Built Environment Professionals, Community Non Profits and Individual Advocates who have been able to find pathways to implementing policies, designs, technologies, processes, etc. that are better than minimum code and create healthier, more efficient and prosperous communities.
