Guiding Principles Compliance
Frequently Asked Questions


Dual Certification with Green Globes Expand All

1. Why should I certify a building for both Green Globes and Guiding Principles Compliance?

The Green Globes CIEB assessment and certification aids commercial building owners and property managers in the evaluation, documentation, and improvement of the environmental performance of commercial buildings. It identifies the successes and opportunities for improvement in sustainability areas. The Guiding Principles Compliance Assessment Program aids Federal Agencies in measuring compliance to the Guiding Principles.

2. How do I order both Green Globes CIEB and Guiding Principles Compliance Assessment for my building?

To order both, request quotes for both Green Globes third-party assessment and certification services and Guiding Principles third-party compliance assessment and certification services. Upon receipt of the quotes, log in to your GBI User Account and from the Account Home Page select "Order Green Globes Certification for my Building." Separate orders are required for each Green Globes and Guiding Principles assessment and certification.

3. Can I order a Guiding Principles Compliance Assessment without ordering a Green Globes Assessment Rating/Certification?

Yes. Guiding Principles Compliance Assessment can be ordered alone or as a supplement to the Green Globes Assessment Rating/Certification. Due to synergies when performing the assessments, there is a pricing discount for the Guiding Principles Compliance Assessment done in conjunction with a Green Globes Assessment.

4. Is there a price difference when ordering a Guiding Principles Compliance Assessment in combination with a Green Globes CIEB Assessment?

There are synergies when performing Green Globes and Guiding Principles assessments simultaneously that allow the GBI to offer this combination of services at a discounted price.

5. Why do the Green Globes CIEB and Guiding Principles Compliance Assessments need to be ordered and site assessed at the same time in order to receive a discount?

Ordering and performing Guiding Principles Compliance and Green Globes CIEB assessments and certifications simultaneously offer synergies for clients, the GBI staff, and the Assessors. Accordingly, the GBI is able to offer discounts when Guiding Principles and Green Globes CIEB assessments are performed in tandem.
