8 2013-2018 GREEN BUILDING INITIATIVE, INC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.Green Globes for New Construction OverviewIntroductionGreen Globes is a well-established green building guidance and assessment program that offers a practical andaffordable way to advance the environmental performance and sustainability of a wide variety of building types.Green Globes for New Construction (Green Globes NC) was designed to be a rating system designed specifically fornew construction, major renovations, and additions.Green Globes NC is a smart alternative for rating and certifying new construction designs owing to these four keyattributes: A comprehensive environmental assessment protocol using accepted criteria Best practices guidance for designing sustainable new construction, major renovation, and additions A practical and cost-effective approach using licensed, independent third-party professionals as assessorsto work with owners and design teams Based on the only national consensus green building standard for new commercial construction,developed in 2010 by the Green Building Initiative and acknowledged by the federal General ServicesAdministration and the US Department of DefenseGreen Globes for New ConstructionThe Green Globes NC assessment begins with the completion of a user-friendly online survey that aids architects,engineers, construction professionals, owners, and building operators to evaluate and improve the environmentalfriendliness and sustainability of new building projects as well as major renovations.Green Globes NC helps Building Teams to focus on sustainability, providing options when consideringimplementation of best practices. When combined with the third-party assessment process, Green Globes’ valueadded features provide a streamlined and affordable approach to assessing the environmental sustainability ofnew construction projects, leading to operating cost savings.Environmental Assessment AreasThe Green Globes for New Construction rating system is suitable for a wide range of commercial buildings,including large and small offices, retail stores, and institutional buildings such as healthcare facilities, governmentbuildings, schools, colleges, and universities.Green Globes NC ensures that environmental impacts and key sustainability issues are comprehensively assessedusing a 1,000-point scale among seven categories; Project Management, Site, Energy, Water, Materials &Resources, Emissions, and Indoor Environment. Each category utilizes weighted criteria assigning points to criteriabased upon the impact to sustainability.Building CertificationA third-party assessment conducted by a GBI-trained assessor is required for a Green Globes NC rating andcertification. Assessors with expertise in green building design, engineering, and construction interface withproject teams and building owners during the assessment process by reviewing and evaluating documentation,conducting site visits, and creating comprehensive assessment reports.To become Green Globes-certified, each project must achieve a minimum of 35% of the total applicable points.Certified projects are assigned a rating of one to four Green Globes, which is reflected in a certificate issued by theGBI.GREEN BUILDING INITIATIVE PHONE: 503.274.0448 WWW.THEGBI.

9 2013-2018 GREEN BUILDING INITIATIVE, INC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.Green Globes for New Construction ProcessGreen Globes for New Construction (NC) is part of the Green Building Initiative’s (GBI) suite of Green Globesprograms. The Green Globes NC assessment includes completion and review of the Green Globes NC survey as wellas a Stage I Design Review and a Stage II On-site Assessment. The survey and assessments aid the IntegratedDesign Process (IDP) team throughout the design process per the unique goals and needs of each individualproject.Green Globes NC SurveyThe first step of the program is to register the project with GBI and order a third-party assessment. After purchaseand receipt of payment, GBI provides survey access to the client, who with the help of the project IDP team willcomplete it. The survey collects information on a variety of environmental and sustainable characteristics,programs, policies, and technologies. On its own, the survey is a helpful tool, but the strength and benefits of theprogram are best achieved when completing the survey in tandem with the Green Globes NC assessment.Stage I Design ReviewThe Stage I Design Review is a third-party assessment of the project’s construction documents 1. This review cantake place at any point during the process after documents are available. If the client desires, the review mayhappen prior to the 100% construction documents set is complete. When the Construction Documents - ClientSurvey2 and supporting documentation are ready for assessor review, the client (or client’s project manager)submits the survey to GBI, who assigns a third-party Green Gl
