Project Database

DVGBC's Green Project Directory will help you find regional examples of building projects that have incorporated sustainable elements, such as vegetative "green" roofs, or have completed whole-building certifications, such as the Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star program or the US Green Building Council's LEED rating system (see USGBC LEED directory).

The Green Project Directory is for the community and by the community; anyone can submit a regional green building project if they wish to let others know about their leadership. We encourage all types of commercial and residential projects to be submitted. The more projects registered here, the more we can showcase our region's progress and offer examples to others in the Delaware Valley and beyond.

This searchable directory will help you find green buildings or projects in your own locality; search by type of building—you can even search by project element if you're only interested in projects that use a particular feature, such as a geothermal well system or lighting controls. We hope these projects help you to connect with the resources you might need for your own work, and to inspire you to action.

Below you can filter projects by keywords. To select multiple keywords in the same category, hold down Ctrl or Apple and click.
