About us
The Green Building Initiative (GBI) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the built environment and reduce climate impacts through exceptional education, tools, standards, and assessments that deliver sustainable, healthy, and resilient buildings. Our strategy for accomplishing our goals involves education and promotion on the use of GBI's Green Globes certification program for commercial buildings and GBI's Guiding Principles Compliance and third-party assessment program for federal building sustainability requirements. GBI's flagship certification, Green Globes, is the difference between rigor and rigid. Register to receive GBI emails: https://thegbi.org/account/register

GBI's Green Globes incentivizes building owners to strive toward sustainable, healthy, and resilient buildings for all. Its collaborative approach incorporates a range of rigorous yet accessible criteria that encourage adoption of practices enhancing performance, occupant wellness, and community benefit. Anne White, Development Executive Assistant at Wangard Partners found value in the cooperative and streamlined process: "I really enjoyed learning the ins and outs of the rating system and what it was like to work with the assessor. Also, Green Globes requires about two weeks’ effort, versus a six- or eight-month process. When you are under a timeframe to refinance, that makes a world of difference.” Learn more and get started at https://lnkd.in/eFmgzAWQ.
