About Greenbuild 2007

Green building is our single greatest opportunity to take immediate, measurable action on critical issues like climate change, water conservation, and improving human health. Join us in Chicago for Greenbuild 2007 to learn how green building is transforming our communities, and how you can be a leader in this important movement.

Chicago: Aiming to be the Greenest

Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley has pledged to make Chicago the most environmentally friendly city in the world. Building on its legacy as a center of American architecture, Chicago was one of the first cities to adopt LEED. Today it has the most LEED projects of any city in the world, including the new West Building at McCormick Place, where Greenbuild will be held.
