NORTHWEST ECOBUILDING GUILD
The Northwest EcoBuilding Guild is a 501(c)(3) community of builders, designers, suppliers, homeowners, and partners concerned with high performance building in the Pacific Northwest. The Guild empowers people through education to transform the built environment for long term sustainability. We consider the needs of the seventh generation in all that we do.
We are committed to serving as a resource for professionals, officials, and the public. Our members demonstrate how we address change in our environment with innovative building practices. We adopt new technologies, safer and more efficient materials, and share our experiences with one another. The Guild has now grown to chapters serving Portland OR, Seattle, Bellingham, Tacoma and Olympia WA. Join today and champion the new era of building as a member of the Guild.
The Guild was founded in 1993 by a small group of professionals already incorporating green building ideas into their practices. They formed the Guild in order to network, learn and exchange ideas related to their areas of expertise.
