The Green Building Initiative (GBI) has seated a consensus body to conduct a revision of ANSI-GBI 01-2021: Green Globes Assessment Protocol for Design, New Construction, and Major Renovations<\/em>, the only standard produced by a green building organization under the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) consensus process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are greatly appreciative of the many subject matter experts giving of their time as we revise our Green Globes for New Construction standard,\u201d says Brenda Steinhauer, Life Safety Coordinator and Quality Manager for W.A. Richardson Builders LLC, and current chair of GBI\u2019s Standards Committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GBI became an approved ANSI Standards Developing Organization in 2005, making it the first green building organization to publish an ANSI-approved American National Standard for commercial green building certification. The resulting program signifies that GBI\u2019s procedures meet the Institute\u2019s requirements for openness, balance, consensus and due process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGBI is proud of its leadership-level commitment to transparency, balance and due process in the development of our rating systems that are used for validating sustainability best practices and performance outcomes for both private and public sector facilities,\u201d states Vicki Worden, GBI president and CEO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GBI\u2019s consensus body members are highly qualified subject matter experts and industry leaders including academics and public health representatives, architects, engineers, product manufacturers and individuals with expertise in high-performance buildings. They will work collaboratively in the review of proposals for change throughout the formal consensus processes for GBI\u2019s American National Standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GBI expects to release an updated standard in 2023. The schedule for continuous maintenance can be found on the GBI website.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
