The Green Globes system is a revolutionary green management tool that includes an assessment protocol, rating system and guide for integrating environmentally friendly design into commercial buildings. Once complete, it also facilitates recognition of the project through third-party review and assessment. It's an interactive, flexible and affordable approach to environmental design. It also places greater value on energy related measures than LEED- 37% of available points, verses 26% for LEED-NC. Green Globes utilizes EPAs target finder, meaning the final design is guaranteed to be 20-25% more efficient than a comparable building of the same type.
Green building standard imported from Canada
Typical cost $3,000 - $5,000 per project (making itmore affordable than LEED for smaller projects)
