GBI Standards

DOWNLOAD THE GBI PROPOSED AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD 01-200XP DOCUMENTS  (CLICK HERE – Registration Required)

PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD OPEN ON GBI 01-200XP October 2 through November 16, 2009

GBI became an ANSI accredited standard developing organization (or SDO) in 2005, breaking new ground for the industry by also being the first green building organization to commit to taking a commercial building rating system (Green Globes™) through an ANSI consensus process. The assessment protocol—or rating system—contained within GBI's proposed standard will be available to the public for use during the design, construction, operations, and maintenance of commercial buildings. In addition it will also be the basis of the next version of the Green Globes online tools.

GBI's standard is being developed by a technical committee—or consensus body—formed in 2006 which follows GBI's ANSI-approved procedures for developing consensus documents. The committee is comprised of 30 individuals, balanced equally between users (10), generally interested parties (10), and producers (10). It is supported by technical experts from across the country through working subcommittees. Additionally, the public plays an important role in developing ANSI standards by participating in periodic public comment periods. Many hundreds of individuals and organizations will have lent their expertise to the development of GBI 01-200XP: Green Building Assessment Protocol for Commercial Buildings before it is finalized.
