So you've read the title and perhaps the most important quest is - Exactly what is a green building council?

To paraphrase these are non-government, non-profit organizations that fall under the World Green Building Council umbrella.

This is a global alliance promoting leadership in sustainability and green practices.

One good example is the leading design house Hassell who have an extensive presence in Asia Pacific (and Thailand).
