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 Globes Assessor to perform the Design Review. Theclient works with the assigned assessor to deliver all needed documentation. The Green Globes Assessor reviewsthe survey and submitted documentation to verify point awards.When the review is complete, the assessor writes a Design Review report containing his/her findings. The reportincludes all points verified, points still needing verification, a preliminary (non-final) score, projected rating, andrecommendations for the project. GBI reviews the report and, when approved 3, issues it to the client along withthe preliminary rating. The client reviews the report and shares the results with their team. The Design Review is anon-binding assessment, meaning the results are preliminary not final. To be eligible for certification andsubsequent rating, a project must complete the Stage II On-site Assessment.Stage II On-Site AssessmentThe Stage II On-site Assessment is a third-party assessment of the project’s completed construction. A completedDesign Review is required prior to an On-site Assessment. The final Green Globes rating and certification is basedupon the assessor’s site visit results, including review of additional supporting documentation as necessary. If1construction documents: all of the written and graphic documents (including BIM, CAD, and other electronic files) preparedor assembled by the architect/engineer for communicating the design, requirements, and administration of the project. Theterm “Construction Documents” also includes the Project Manual that contains the bidding forms and instructions, contractforms and conditions, and specifications, as well as documentation of all modifications made after the construction agreementsare signed.2Construction Document-Client Survey: the Green Globes for New Construction online system includes a total of 6 surveys (4client, 2 assessor): 1) Predesign (optional), 2) Schematic Design (optional), 3) Construction Documents – Client, 4) ConstructionDocuments – Assessor (third-party assessor only), 5) Post Construction – Client, and 6) Post Construction – Assessor (third-partyassessor only).3approved: acceptable to the code official or authority having jurisdiction.GREEN BUILDING INITIATIVE PHONE: 503.274.0448 WWW.THEGBI. ORG
10 2013-2018 GREEN BUILDING INITIATIVE, INC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.there are any changes since the completion of the Design Review Report, the client will update the PostConstruction - Client survey and provide updated verification documentation as needed.When construction is essentially complete (through the punch list) and the team is ready to schedule the site visit,the client submits the updated Post-Construction - Client survey and contacts GBI to provide the preferred visittiming. GBI schedules a third-party Green Globes Assessor to perform the On-site Assessment, and issues a formalscheduling letter to the client and assessor. The letter includes the contact information for both to facilitate directcontact. Whenever possible, GBI assigns the same assessor for both the Stage I Design Review and Stage II On-siteAssessment. Please note that the site visit typically requires 30 days advance notice. In the weeks leading up tothe site visit, the assigned assessor contacts the client to discuss the itinerary and specific details of theassessment.Typically, the On-site Assessment begins with an introductory meeting in which the assessor can interview the keyproject players (Architect, MEP Engineers, Project Manager/Owner, General Contractor, etc.). Someoneknowledgeable about all aspects of the project should be on-site during the entire visit to ensure the assessorreceives the information needed to verify any outstanding criteria. Afterwards, one or two people can guide theassessor through the building. If any follow-up documentation is requested during the site visit, it should be sent tothe assessor within one week.After the visit, the assessor will create a report of his/her findings that contains the recommended score andrating. GBI will review the report and, when approved, issue it to the project manager along with the final GreenGlobes rating. After reviewing the report and sharing the results with their team, the client may order recognitionitems (if not pre-ordered) to help celebrate and market the achievement.The duration of the site visit varies considerably based on the scope and size of the completed new constructionproject. Please allow approximately three to six hours for the assessor to review new documentation onsite,conduct a thorough walk-through of the interior space, and interview personnel.Figure 1: Design Review / On-site Assessment Process FlowchartStage I DesignReviewComplete and SubmitGG NC SurveyGBI SchedulesPreliminary ReviewSubmitDocumenation forAssessor ReviewGBI Schedules Onsite AssessmentUpdate and SubmitGG NC SurveyStage II On-siteAssessmentAssessor DesignReview andPreliminary ReportAssessor On-siteReview and FinalReportGG NC Rating& CertificationGREEN BUILDING INITIATIVE PHONE: 503.274.0448 WWW.THEGBI.

11 2013-2018 GREEN BUILDING INITIATIVE, INC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.Green Globes Program FeaturesOne of the defining qualities of Green Globes is its flexibility. The goal of the program is to promote the adoptionof green building practices on a comprehensive scale by providing a flexible rating system that can be applied to awide range of building types. To achieve this goal, Green Globes makes use of several important features andconcepts, as follows.Weighted CriteriaThe Green Globes 1000-point scale allows for weighted criteria, wherein the assigned number of points forindividual criteria reflects their relative impact and/or benefit on the sustainability of the building. For example,energy is considered to be the most important area affecting the sustainability of a building, so it carries thehighest point value of all the Green Globes assessment areas within the New Construction (NC), Existing Building(EB), and Sustainable Interiors (SI) programs. This method emphasizes sustainable design while minimizingunnecessary “‘point chasing” for criteria that are outside of the project scope or provide relatively littleenvironmental benefit.No PrerequisitesPrerequisites are contrary to the objectivity and scientific accuracy of the Green Globes programs. They can bepenalizing and result in building projects being excluded from green building assessment and certification. GreenGlobes aims to be inclusive and recognize sustainable achievements in all areas. A building is eligible for GreenGlobes certification when it achieves the 35% of the applicable points (1,000 maximum points less non-applicablepoints).Third-Party AssessorGreen Globes Assessors are sustainability experts, generally with more than 10 years of applicable industryexperience, who have successfully completed GBI’s Green Globes Assessor Training Program. Once certified, GreenGlobes Assessors are authorized to perform Green Globes and Guiding Principles Compliance assessments for GBIas independent contractors. Their professional judgment is critical in the assessment process to verify pointawards, to determine criteria applicability, as well as to provide sustainability recommendations within theirassessment report. Once assigned, the client has direct access to contact the assessor for assessment guidance.Although GBI assigns Green Globes Assessors to projects, the assessor decisions and recommendations are notrevised or redirected by GBI, thus ensuring assessor autonomy and their third-party status.Non-Applicable CriteriaWithin the Green Globes surveys, many criteria include a “non-applicable” (N/A) response selection. This provisionincreases the flexibility of the tool as points that are impossible or unreasonable for a building to achieve do notresult in a penalty as they would if the criteria yielded a “No” response. This feature encourages a more regionalapproach and recognizes differences—and potential conflicts—between various local codes and standards.The user should only select an available N/A response within the survey when there is a compelling, technicalreason to do so. The non-applicable provision is not to be used when project teams/clients decide not toincorporate sustainability items that are part of the criteria measured in the assessment. In those cases, the clientshould select a “No” response, or reconsider incorporating more sustainable features and answer the questionaccordingly.The Green Globes third-party assessor will validate all “N/A” responses during the third-party assessment based onfour primary justifications: 1) Regional/climatic applicability; 2) Jurisdictional/code conflict or inconsistency; 3)Building occupancy type; and 4) Criteria that address a facility, design feature, or building appurtenance that is notGREEN BUILDING INITIATIVE PHONE: 503.274.0448 WWW.THEGBI. ORG
12 2013-2018 GREEN BUILDING INITIATIVE, INC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.designated or used for that particular project space, or is completely outside the control or influence of the client.Utilizing these four justifications, the Green Globes Assessor has the flexibility to use his/her professional judgmentto categorize additional criteria as non-applicable.Incremental Point Awards & Partial CreditFor some Green Globes criteria, there are threshold values, which allow the incremental award of pointsdepending on the level of achievement. In these cases, reaching a higher threshold earns relatively more points.The third-party assessors are permitted to use their professional judgment to award partial credit where deserved,even when the thresholds don’t exist within the program.The incorporation of these flexibility features; 1000-point scale, weighted criteria, no pre-requisites, nonapplicable criteria, incremental point awards, and partial credit results in the highest possible accuracy of the finalGreen Globes score and rating. This flexibility recognizes the vast differences in building types, and represents anaccurate look at the nuances of every tenant improvement project.Environmental Assessment Areas & Point Allocation1Project Management501.1Integrated Design Process (IDP)91.2Environmental Management During ment Area302.2Ecological Impacts322.3Stormwater Management182.4Landscaping282.5Exterior Light Pollution73Energy3903.1Energy Performance1003.2Energy Demand353.3Metering, Measurement, and Verification123.4Building Opaque Envelope313.5Lighting363.6HVAC Systems and Controls593.7Other HVAC Systems and Controls323.8Other Energy Efficient Equipment and Measures113.9Renewable Energy503.10Energy Efficient Transportation24GREEN BUILDING INITIATIVE PHONE: 503.274.0448 WWW.THEGBI.

If the project’s climate zonecan’t be determined from the map, consult the references above for a list of cities and their zones.Figure 2: ASHRAE Climate Zones map4 4Items from the “Suggested Documentation” list at the end of each criterion are typical documents thatthe Assessors will evaluate prior to or in conjunction with the Stage II post-construction site visit and walkthrough to assess compliance, though other documentation may be requested or substituted prior to orduring the on-site visit. The more documentation that can be provided to the Assessor prior to the Stage IIsite visit, the more productive the field survey can be.The project should incorporate development and simulation of at least one energy model in order tosatisfy the requirements of several criteria in the Energy section in addition to the 3.3.1.1 AssessingEnergy Performance subsection. Owners should be aware of this requirement prior to deciding to pursueGreen Globes certification. Provisions should be made with one of the design firms or with an outsideconsultant to include at least one energy model in their scope of work. The number of iterations and thedetail level of the model(s) will need to be determined by the project manager/sustainability consultantbased on which criteria will be pursued that require information or results from the energy model(s).Reprinted from ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1-2013, 2013 by ASHRAE. www.ashrae.org/standard901GREEN BUILDING INITIATIVE PHONE: 503.274.0448 WWW.THEGBI.
