Drexel University is the first university in the country to commit
to using Green Globes®, the Green Building Initiative’s™ (GBI) independent environmental impact monitoring system, comprehensively through university policy, for all new construction and existing campus buildings.
Green Globes® is a web-enabled green building management tool that includes an assessment protocol, rating system and a framework of guidance for integrating environmentally friendly design and operation into buildings. A third-party independent assessment process is completed one year after occupancy, and results in a ranking based on Green Globes® metrics.
Demonstrating the University’s commitment to transparency, status reports of assessments are posted online.
In 2005, GBI became the first green building organization to be accredited as a standards developer by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and began the process of establishing Green Globes® as the first American National Standard for commercial green building. GBI’s mission is to accelerate the adoption of building practices that result in energy-efficient, healthier and environmentally sustainable buildings by promoting credible and practical green building approaches for construction.
Construction projects registered with the Green Globes® system:
85-100% 4 Globes Reserved for select buildings that serve as national or world leaders in reducing environmental impacts and efficiency of buildings.
70-84% 3 Globes Demonstrates leadership in energy and environmentally efficient buildings and a commitment to continual improvement.
55-69% 2 Globes Demonstartes excellent progress in reducing environmental impacts by applying bes practices in energy and environmental efficiency.
35-54% 1 Globe Demonstrates movement beyond awareness and a commitment to good energy and environmental efficiency practices.
To receive a final certified rating of one, two, three or four Green Globes, the data submitted online must be reviewed by a Green Building Initiative-authorized and Green Globes- trained third party assessor.
