How we contribute to a greener Houston: 
The Green Building Resource Center is free and open to the public during normal business hours. Our mission is to enable the public to experience and learn more about energy, water and material conserving design and construction, also known as Green Building. When more Houstonians understand and begin to practice greener behaviors, Houston will host a better quality of life for all. The GBRC provides periodic educational classroom sessions at the Center, and also coordinates tours of LEED Certified spaces in the Houston area, generally on a monthly basis.
