Huston Eubank is a registered architect and an independent consultant specializing in the sustainable design of buildings, communities and businesses. His long and interesting career in green development has given him a wide range of experience in many areas. He is currently focused on making quality education about green building and sustainability easily accessible to all through a global network of partners who share this mission.
From 2005 to 2007 he served as Executive Director of the World Green Building Council , where he focused on developing the council and its programs both internally and with its partners.

In 1996, as the commercial program manager for “Earth Smart” at Portland General Electric (PGE), he managed a comprehensive commercial green building program that was ahead of its time, but that unfortunately died when Enron took over PGE later that year. He first became active in environmental advocacy in 1991 while a senior project architect with Gensler, working in Los Angeles and London. Early career experience in a variety of architectural firm types and other situations included business and property development, and construction.
