To achieve sustainable and resilience commitments\, USGBC and GBCI are scaling our expertise and products to support not just buildings\, but entire real estate portfolios. \nUSGBC and GBCI have gathered expertise from more than 100 real estate portfolio owners and managers to launch a third-party verification of key sustainability performance metrics for real estate portfolios. In the first of several planned releases\, the new verification provides a supplement to the rapidly evolving sustainability and climate reporting landscape. \nThis session features practical insights and tools from portfolio managers across diverse building types and new tools to drive large-scale improvements at the portfolio-level. Attendees will hear on-the-ground examples of how portfolios are making progress towards short- and long-term goals and the benefits of providing verified transparency to their stakeholders. \nBuilding portfolios looking to scale up their work should attend this session\, especially for small—to medium-sized organizations\, asset managers\, business units or brands\, privately held portfolios\, and public sector portfolios. \nREGISTER FOR THE MAY 2 WEBINAR \n2025 Schedule \n\nJune 6 | Live | Green Finance Tools and Resources\nJuly 11 | Making Zero Emissions Buildings the New Normal\nAugust 1 | Live | LEEDv5 Updates and Discussion\nSeptember 5 | Digging into SITES\nOctober 3 | Live | TRUE Total Resource Management\nNovember 7 | Equity at Scale: Exploring LEED’s Role in Creating More Just Buildings and Communities\nDecember 5 | Live | Information Forthcoming\nJanuary 2026 | Getting Green for Green: Using Sustainable Finance Strategies for Green Building Investments

SUMMARY:Evening Program - Annual Green Building Showcase
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW!  \nJoin us for our Annual Green Building Showcase! Each year we highlight 3-4 key projects in the region that are helping to foster sustainable\, prosperous and healthy places to live\, work and learn. This year\, we’ll take a look at projects previously featured in past showcases to see how they are currently performing. Our invited presenters will share stories about the successes and realities of operating and occupying these buildings after construction. How are these projects performing 10 to 15 years later – both operationally and experientially – compared to original sustainability or LEED targets and goals? Presenters will explore lessons learned in the transition from construction to owner takeover and the reality of keeping efficiency and conservation methods in place during real use\, drawing from both lived experience and performance data\, where available. \n Featured Projects + Presenters: \n\nCrossroads College Prep | Howard Granok\, Science Department Chair\n2008 LEED Platinum Development in JeffVanderLou | Josh Smith\, Director of Construction\, Habitat for Humanity Saint Louis\n@4240 Duncan at Cortex | Ben Daugherty\, Operations and Sustainability Project Manager\, Cortex Innovation District\nJanuary Hall at Washington University | James Roseberry\, Director of Sustainability\, Trivers + Jim Kappeler\, Senior Principal\, IMEG\nNational Great Rivers Research and Education Center | Jessica Mohlman\, Director of Environmental Education\n\nREGISTER NOW!  \n  \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Crossroads College Prep\, Presented by Howard Granok\, Science Department Chair \nCrossroads is a middle and high school located in the Skinker-DeBaliviere neighborhood.

SUMMARY:Green Building Break - Prefabricated Straw Bale Panel Construction - right here in Missouri!
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW \n\nJoin your Missouri Gateway Green Building Council for a virtual Green Building Break and an opportunity to learn about the sustainability benefits of straw bale  construction and prefabricated straw bale panel construction that’s happening in Columbia\, MO!  \n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Adrienne Stolwyk\, Monarch Architecture\, LLC \nAdrienne is a licensed architect in Columbia\, Missouri and owner of Monarch Architecture\, LLC\, focusing primarily on custom residential and high-performance design. A long-time straw bale construction enthusiast\, Adrienne worked on site-built straw bale construction projects in Missouri\, New Mexico\, Utah\, and her own backyard. In 2022 she and her husband\, Adam Saunders\, completed the construction of a net-positive straw-cell Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU). Through these experiences\, Adrienne saw the need for a less labor intensive way of building with straw. In 2024 she and four co-owners founded Building Integrity (BI)\, LLC\, Missouri’s first producer of prefabricated straw-insulated wall\, floor\, roof panels. BI is a participant in the “Seed Collaborative” – a growing collection of businesses across the country that are learning and evolving a straw panel design developed by Vermont-based New Frameworks. Adrienne is passionate about bio-based materials’ potential for improving human health and sequestering carbon\, now with greater speed and reach from off-site prefabrication! \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n\nREGISTER NOW\n\n\n  \nIn 2024\, our Coffee Break Series transitioned to a slightly longer Green Building Break Series.
