Silicon Valley Branch Vision Statement

The Silicon Valley Branch will be the preferred source of information, programs, and resources to transform the region so that sustainable thinking and green building practices become the routine practice by developers, home owners, governmental agencies, architects, builders, and others involved in the building industry. 

The Silicon Valley Branch Will:

• Educate the community about the opportunity, economics, and benefits of sustainable development of individual buildings and neighborhoods.
• Influence policy in cities and counties by removing roadblocks to green building.
• Perform community outreach and education so that green buildings and sustainable technologies are more accessible to the public in their homes, offices, schools and general infrastructure.
