The Green Building Initiative began work on the ANSI/GBI 01-2010: Green Building Assessment Protocol for Commercial Buildings (aka Green Globes) almost 10 years ago. Since then, there have been many new developments in green building.
In its latest assessment of green building rating systems, the U.S. General Services Administration gave Green Globes the highest rating, superior to LEED. And Green Globes is only getting better, having just begun it’s required ANSI Standard Periodic Maintenance process and will be available for use in 2015.
