Make
your space
matter
Welcome to the Green Building Council South Africa
where every space becomes a catalyst for positive change.
At GBCSA we believe spaces are the tools of change, shaping sustainable futures. That’s because, from affordable housing to platinum-grade offices, spaces are created, occupied, and improved by people. Sustainable spaces are the point of departure for all of us to create, occupy and improve a future where people and planet thrive.
Our impact
Since our establishment in 2007, we have changed the trajectory of over 1 000 buildings, and empowered over 2 700 professionals with green building qualifications. We’re not only helping to drive and shape a more sustainable built environment, we’re empowering a workforce with skills for the green economy.
