Green Building

Welcome!  The goal of the Green Building Program is to promote the use of green building materials and methods in Tompkins County, because we know that green building is a healthier, more sustainable way to build. Through educational programs and community events and as a community resource, we strive to increase awareness of green and sustainable building methods and materials so you can make the best possible choices--for you, your community, and the planet.
