Through the Green Building Resource Directory, the GBC hopes that green building will become a widely accepted practice in the area, creating a demand for local products, protecting and improving our natural resources in the Northeast Ohio region, and increasing the building options now readily available on the market. The resources for the widespread adoption of green building practices are becoming increasingly available in this region.

The Directory serves to both make these resources, from professionals to materials, easily accessible as well as to exemplify that there is still room for growth and innovation in the local markets.

Note: Neither the Cleveland Green Building Coalition nor an affiliated organization has tested the products in the directory. The Cleveland GBC cannot guarantee that any of the listed products, professionals, examples, or resources are “green,” or that they meet their green claims.

The number of green building materials is growing rapidly throughout the country. This directory is aimed to highlight local resources for green building. It is in no way a complete guide to all available green building materials. For a more complete listing of national resources, we have referred to, and recommend the following directories:
