Consumer Help

As part of the Florida Green Building Coalition’s mission to “improve the built environment,” we want to help all Floridians who are seeking become more responsible stewards of the environment. And while we can’t address every single subject related to environmental preservation – there are a lot of great organizations active with their specific missions – we are the experts when the subject turns to the “built environment.”

We strive to make the website as relevant as possible for visitors with specific green building needs and questions. And in order to remain relevant, we need to also remain dynamic. Therefore, we encourage you to visit this page often as we will regularly post new information with tips on how you can reduce your energy consumption and water usage, create a healthier indoor environment for your family, select materials that are reused, renewable or recyclable, encourage the use of Florida’s native plants, and in general, adopt a more sustainable lifestyle. We hope you find the content helpful!
