J.S. Vig Construction Joins The U.S. Green Building Council

ANN ARBOR, Mich., January 29, 2008 — Southeast Mich.-based J.S. Vig Construction Company, a full-service general contractor and construction management company, announced today that it has joined the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). The announcement was made by J.S. Vig CEO Joseph Vig, LEED AP.

Founded in 1993, the USGBC is a nonprofit trade organization committed to expanding sustainable building practices. Its membership is composed of 15,000 organizations from across the building industry that are working to advance structures that are environmentally responsible, profitable and healthy places to live and work. The USGBC also developed the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Building Rating System for use in developing high-performance, sustainable buildings.

“The USGBC is the preeminent authority on green building best practices,” said Vig. “By aligning ourselves with such a respected organization, we will be able to tap into the state-of-the-art programs and resources available to USGBC members and expand the services we offer to architects and project owners who are interested in learning more about sustainable construction.”

J.S.
