NEWS - GBI's #GreenGlobes retains its market leadership position following GSA's most recent analysis of how green building certification programs align with federal requirements for #sustainable design, construction, and operations. Highlights: * Green Globes for Existing Buildings meets more effectiveness sub-criteria than any other reviewed existing building certification system. * Green Globes New Construction continues to be a market leader in meeting effectiveness criteria as well as meeting requirements around consensus processes being used in the development of the certification criteria. Updates the report didn't cover (accurately yet, we'll submit comments): * GBI and Green Globes together have supported the certification of more than 682 million square feet of space. * GBI has certified (Green Globes) or verified compliance (GPC) for 774 federal buildings with hundreds more in progress. GBI's Green Globes for New Construction (ANSI-GBI 01) and Green Globes for Existing Buildings (ANSI-GBI 02) are reviewed and updated every two-three years by volunteer subject matter experts following extensive public comment periods with due process for commenters.
