DescGBI educates its community on green building practices through programs that encourage sustainable, healthy, and resilient features and operational practices in commercial and multifamily buildings.Additionally, GBI supports federal high performance building requirements through custom assessment programs, such as the Guiding Principles Compliance programs for new construction and existing buildings. Through its Journey to Net Zero program, GBI provides building owners with a transparent process to evaluate renewable energy strategies, See Schedule O.and their impact on energy and carbon emission reduction strategies toward the goal of reaching net zero.To help promote and enhance green building education and the adoption of best practices, GBI has created the following credentialing programs: Green Globes Emerging Professional (GGEP), Green Globes Professional (GGP), Green Globes Fellow (GGF), Green Globes Assessor (GGA), Guiding Principles Compliance Professional (GPCP), and Guiding Principles Compliance Fellow (GPCF).GBI is a thought leader on sustainability, health and wellness, resilience, ESG, and Net Zero objectives related to buildings. As such, GBI partners and collaborates with NGOs, government, corporations, and allied organizations in the pursuit of global environmental objectives.GBI's Board of Directors strives to promote transparency in its governance practices as it does in the development of its rating systems, where GBI follows ANSI-approved procedures for consensus, balance, openness, and due process. To request information or provide input on GBI's governance, rating system development, online tools or consensus processes, send inquires to info@thegbi.org.Desc
