This is a Product SpotLight Presentation. The Green Building Initiative (GBI) offers a comprehensive suite of science-based assessment and certification tools designed to help AEC professionals and building owners demonstrate measurable progress toward sustainability, health & wellness, and resilience. Whether you're working on commercial new construction, existing buildings, or federally owned facilities, GBI has a pathway built for your project. Green Globes® is GBI's flagship whole building certification for projects in the US and Canada, evaluating environmental sustainability, occupant health, and resilience across new construction and existing buildings. Ascent™ extends that same rigorous framework to projects in the EU, UK, and beyond. For teams focused on decarbonization, Journey to Net Zero™ gives owners science-based tools to benchmark carbon and energy performance and track progress over time. And for US federal projects, Guiding Principles Compliance (GPC) provides a structured evaluation against federal sustainability requirements. Together, GBI's programs offer every member of the AEC community a credible, third-party assessed path to a more sustainable built environment.
