We had a wonderful time on our tour to the new Zero Net Energy office buildings at Terranova Farms on the West Side of Fresno with the architect and team from and engineering team . Sustainability and efficiency are key to the farms ag operation in dealing with water, crop choices and circularity in material use, and an efficiency energy design a no brainer when the team made important design considerations. Built with passive design solutions for shading and long term building maintenance, the project is intentional in material choices, reducing operational cost, sustaining a move to an electric ag operation and a view over the farm fields from each office and meeting space. Thanks to the Fresno County Rural Transit Agency for the ev bus ride from Fresno to the farm!

This week we had a wonderful time learning, connecting and driving forward the discussion on decarbonized, resilient, healthy and affordable in the San Joaquin Valley! With amazing keynote speaker who shared her journey of dedication to become the leading native clean energy contractor and our fireside chat guest who talked about his accomplishments to make Huron, CA the greenest farmworkers town, the event highlighted the work and dedication of local leaders in the green space. The educational sessions brought together local and regional leaders and their best practices, projects, experience and stories. Thank you to all that made this event possible, speakers, organizers, volunteers, and more. We are thrilled to work with a spirited group of locals to empower the San Joaquin Valley green building community with this second annual event.

🌿 Our voices were heard at the Capitol this week

The USGBC Central California team joined forces with green building leaders from across the state for the 2026 USGBC CA Advocacy Day — and we showed up strong. Four teams. 32 lawmakers. One mission.

We took our message straight to Sacramento, advocating for the policies that matter most:
🏗️ Decarbonization
🌊 Resiliency
đź‘· Workforce Development

Building a better California starts with bold policy — and it starts with people willing to walk those hallways and make the case 💚
