Overview

USGBC's Emerging Green Builders is a national coalition of students and young professionals promoting the integration of future leaders into the green building movement. Founded in 2005, Clemson University's EGB has made tremendous progress over the past year. In addition to hosting workshops to help students, staff & faculty, and local professionals become aquainted with the LEED rating systems, we also host an annual sustainable products/projects expo and conference.

We are very fortunate to have the help and support of local and regional industry members. The EGB is growing rapidly and with that comes the opportunity to involve a larger community. We are eager to form new relationships and networks and are always looking for new opportunities to get involved. Please feel free to contact us if you have any ideas or suggestions for EGB involvment or if you would like to get involved in our chapter!
