David Gottfried

David Gottfried is an American real estate developer, author, and green building activist. As the founder of the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) and the World Green Building Council,[1] he is known as the father of the green building movement.[2]

Career

Green Building Councils

In April 1993, Gottfried along with Michael Italiano, an environmental lawyer, and Rick Fedrizzi, head of environmental marketing at Carrier at the time, founded the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), in order to promote sustainable practices in the building and construction industry.[3][4] They eventually went on to create the LEED building certification system in 2000.[5] Through the USGBC, LEED has grown into the most widely used and well recognized green building rating system in the world[6][7] with 197,000 LEED projects in 186 countries and territories and covering over 29 billion square feet as of 2024.[8]

Gottfried created and managed the formation of the “United Nations of the Green Building Councils” with the founding meeting of the World Green Building Council held in California, US in 1999. In 2002, the WorldGBC was officially formed with the countries: Australia, Brazil, Canada, India, Japan, Mexico, Spain, and US.[9][10] There are now Green Building Councils in over 100 countries.[11]

Other work

Gottfried currently serves as the chief commercial officer for Blue Planet Systems, which creates Synthetic Limestone aggregate with a potential to permanently store gigatons of CO2 in carbon negative concrete.[12]

He founded WorldBuild Technologies Inc, a San Francisco sustainable development consultant firm,[1] with clients such as Yahoo, Starbucks, DreamWorks SKG, Stanford University, Williams-Sonoma, Genentech, the State of California and San Diego Gas & Electric,[13] and was previously the CEO of Reset360, Regenerative Ventures and its RegenNetwork.[14][15] He has also held senior positions at Thomas Properties Group, SIGAL Construction Corporation, Intertech Development Company, and Sigal/Zuckerman Company.[16]

Personal life

Gottfried graduated from Stanford University with a degree in Engineering and Resource Management.[17]

Gottfried is a modern art painter.[18] He is married to Sara Gottfried, a scientist and author[19][20] and has 2 daughters.[21]
