View a historical timeline of the WNCGBC.

The WNCGBC began as a casual gathering of five building professionals over food and drink in the spring of 2000. A common desire to educate others on the health and environmental impacts of design and construction led to the official formation of the council.

In 2001, the WNCGBC organized, along with then Asheville mayor Leni Sitnick, a Mayor's Roundtable presentation on residential green building programs. Over the next several years, the council continued to grow, and organized dozens of educational events, tours, publications and workshops.
