Organization

The Green Building Initiative (GBI) is a 501c3 not-for-profit organization whose mission is to reduce climate impacts by improving the built environment.  We deliver education, standards, assessments, and certifications developed by an inclusive and collaborative global network.

GBI makes aspirational goals achievable through user-friendly tools built upon comprehensive standards and supported by outstanding staff and expert assessors. As a nonprofit community, we are educators and coaches first, supporting performance improvement of all buildings.

How we do it

We are passionate about third-party certification for its benefits, including lowering risks for owners and ensuring that both buildings and the teams who build and operate them are better able to achieve desired performance outcomes. We measure our impact toward our mission in several ways, including growing the number of building owners that achieve certification of individual buildings, building projects, and portfolios of buildings.

Our initiatives promote the use of GBI’s Green Globes® building certification for commercial, multi-family, and institutional buildings as well as GBI’s Guiding Principles Compliance® third-party assessment program for U.S. federal DOD and non-DOD buildings. A newer offering is GBI’s Journey to Net Zero program, which guides portfolios through a continuous improvement approach toward the goal of net zero energy and/or carbon. GBI’s programs are recognized in the U.S. and Canada at federal, state/provincial, and local levels. GBI is also pursuing an incremental global growth plan and has certified and assessed properties in several countries outside of the United States and Canada, including close to one million square feet in the United Arab Emirates and additional projects in Mexico and Brazil.
