- Maryland’s Montgomery County became the first county in the U.S. to adopt a benchmarking law, and in 2022 Montgomery County also became part of the small but growing cohort of jurisdictions to adopt a building energy performance standard into law.

We advance USGBC’s mission locally by growing the influence of LEED and other sustainability-centered solutions offered through GBCI that improve the quality of life in our cities and neighborhoods.
