The Irish Green Building Council – IGBC, is a non-profit organisation launched in 2011 with organisations and businesses from across the value chain of the built environment. These include architects, engineers, contractors, universities, professional institutes, NGOs, local authorities, energy companies, and leading national and transnational companies. All are united in one common goal to accelerate the transformation of the built environment to one that is sustainable through leadership, research, education, and providing policy input to national and local government.
