- Promote cost effective design, construction and operation of buildings that are healthy places to live and work, environmentally responsible, and profitable.
- Serve the James River Green Building Council members and our communities through development of industry standards, design practices and technologies, green building and design policy advocacy, information exchange, and education.
- Encourage a widespread acceptance of LEED certified buildings as the regional standard."[1]
