Background

The Florida Building Commission and the Department of Community Affairs charged FSEC with developing and implementing a Green Buildings Web site that promotes energy efficiency and the benefits of building green. This energy conservation related task was authorized by the 2007 Florida Legislature and directed by the Governor in Executive Order 07-127.

Green Building Workgroup

A Florida Green Building Workgroup, made up of local and state officials, building officials, industry representatives and conservation advocates, was formed by the Florida Building Commission.
