The U.S. Green Building Council
(USGBC) and USGBC’s Northern California Chapter (USGBC-NCC) will launch
the California Best Buildings Challenge at the closing plenary event of
the 2012 Clinton Global Initiative America (CGI America), a meeting
focused on finding solutions that promote economic recovery in the
United States. President Clinton and USGBC President, CEO and Founding
Chair, Rick Fedrizzi, will join three of the six inaugural commitment
participants, Genentech, Google and Prudential Real Estate Investors
(PREI®), on stage to announce the Challenge during the closing plenary
of the popular event that draws more than 900 business, non-profit and
media participants.
Inspired by the White House’s Better Buildings Challenge (BBC) and
President Clinton’s pioneering work to promote sustainable buildings,
the California Best Buildings Challenge consists of industry-leading
firms with a strong California presence that have committed to reduce
their building energy, water and waste by 20 percent in two years.
Adobe, Genentech, Google, PREI, SAP and Zynga have stepped up to kick
off the challenge, collectively committing five million square feet of
building space from their portfolios.
