USGBC-NCC Silicon Valley Branch

Welcome to the USGBC-NCC Silicon Valley Branch!

Ron FongSilicon Valley is at the heart and leading edge of the green building movement, with a unique combination of greentech smarts, venture capital, and an international community. Silicon Valley Branch (SVB) offers opportunities for networking and learning about the green building movement through educational events and classes that help you stay attuned to this rapidly and continually evolving sector of the economy. 

My vision for 2010 is that we partner with our sister organizations in the building design, construction and operations world – such as AIA, ASHRAE, BIG, BOMA, IIDA, IFMA – to share training, information and have FUN!
