Title
• USGBC/GBCI – LEED• GBI – Green Globes• ILFI – Living Building Challenge• EPA – ENERGY STAR• ASHRAE – Building Energy Quotient
• ICC – International Green Building Code
GREEN BUILDING RATINGS
Wiley|Wilson | 2014 Energy & Sustainability Conference – Building Rating Systems
Title
• Founded in 1993, LEED begins 2000
• LEED AP exams begin 2001 (181,000 LEED APs to date)
• 13,000 member organizations to date
• GSA requires LEED Silver beginning 2007 (LEED Gold beginning 2013)
• USGBC spins of GBCI in 2008• Current LEED rating programs begins 2009
USGBC/GBCI – LEED

Title
• .
USGBC/GBCI – LEED
Wiley|Wilson | 2014 Energy & Sustainability Conference – Building Rating Systems
Title
• Building Research Establishment’s Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM) begin in Canada (1996)
• The Green Building Initiative – In 2004 acquired the rights to BREEAM, now Green Globes
• GBI became the first building rating system to be an accredited standards developer by ANSI (2005)
GBI – GREEN GLOBES
Wiley|Wilson | 2014 Energy & Sustainability Conference – Building Rating Systems
Title
• Fees are similar ($3,000 to $5,000)
• Time to complete documents is 25% of that required by LEED
• Forest certifications (4 vs. 1)• Weighted Criteria
–No Prerequisites–Removes Non-applicable Criteria
(more flexibility)–Partial Credit
GREEN GLOBES VS. LEED
Wiley|Wilson | 2014 Energy & Sustainability Conference – Building Rating Systems
Title
• Four level of performance (1-4 globes vs. Certified, Silver, Gold, Platinum)
• Allows regional variations• Energy
–LEED (benchmark against hypothetical building model)
–GG (benchmark against regional performance similar to ENERGY STAR)
• Key difference is flexibility
GREEN GLOBES VS. LEED

Title
GREEN GLOBES VS. LEED
Wiley|Wilson | 2014 Energy & Sustainability Conference – Building Rating Systems
Title
• International Living Future Institute – Living Building Challenge began 2006
• Similar ratings to LEED and GG• Requires 12 months of successful operation before certification
• All building receive a site visit and audit
• Lower fees and less mature organization
ILFI – LIVING BUILDING
Wiley|Wilson | 2014 Energy & Sustainability Conference – Building Rating Systems
Title
• Green Building Certification System Review (March 2012)
• www.gsa.gov/portal/category/25999
• 70 page report comparing the three comprehensive green building rating systems
LEED / GG / LBC
Wiley|Wilson | 2014 Energy & Sustainability Conference – Building Rating Systems
Title
• Energy Rating of 1 to 100• Earn the ENERGY STAR at 75+• Free, except for a small AE fee for certification
• Can track monthly rating plus carbon footprint
• Compares actual performance with your regional peers
• Used for LEED O+M and other ratings
EPA – ENERGY STAR
Wiley|Wilson | 2014 Energy & Sustainability Conference – Building Rating Systems
Title
• Compares As Designed (A – F) to Operational performance (A – F)
• bEQ is the “next step” beyond the ENERGY STAR (gives a path forward)
• Requires an ASHRAE Level 1 audit
• bEQ requires a PE or ASHRAE certified professional to submit documentation ($500 fee), although worksheets are available for free
ASHRAE - BEQ
Wiley|Wilson | 2014 Energy & Sustainability Conference – Building Rating Systems
Title
• International Code Council developed the first model code for minimum green requirements for new and existing buildings
• Relies on the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) and ASHRAE 189.1
• Goal is an enforceable green building standard
ICC – IGCC
