About us

The Green Building Council (GBC) of Croatia is a not-for-profit organization that serves as a country-wide platform for the promotion of sustainable building practices.

The council acts as a network for all parties involved in the development of the built environment—from architects or materials manufacturers, to financial institutions or academics. The organization will be able to campaign with these private and public sectors for adoption of sustainable building practices, and it often offers services such as building certification and professional training programs.
