One of the major initiatives of the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) is their Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED™) Program. According to the USGBC’s website www.usgbc.org, LEED™ was created to:
-
define "green building" by establishing a common standard of measurement
-
promote integrated, whole-building design practices
-
recognize environmental leadership in the building industry
-
stimulate green competition
-
raise consumer awareness of green building
LEED promotes expertise in green building through a comprehensive system offering project certification, professional accreditation, training and practical resources.
SYLVANIA products have been installed in several LEED-certified buildings to help customers meet the prerequisites and criteria for the various LEED rating systems
Green Globes is an online building and management environmental audit.
Green Globes helps property owners and architects design a building that will be energy and resource efficient, will achieve operational savings and be healthier to work or live in.
It helps property owners and managers measure the environmental performance of their buildings against best practices in areas such as energy, water, hazardous materials, waste management and indoor environment. Using a confidential questionnaire, it generates an online report. Green Globes is only applicable to existing buildings.
Property owners can use the Green Globes Design tool as either a guide for integrating green design principles into their facilities, or as an assessment protocol. Using confidential questionnaires for each stage of project delivery, the program generates comprehensive on-line assessment and guidance reports.
The US Environmental Protection Agency developed ENERGY STAR Buildings to help businesses reduce pollution associated with building construction and operation, while enhancing their financial value.
Focusing on energy performance and indoor environmental quality components of a building, this initiative can stand alone or be incorporated into other green buildings guidelines.
ENERGY STAR Buildings targets all types of new and existing commercial buildings typically larger than 5,000 square feet, and compares energy performance to the performance of other similar buildings, rather than to code.
A building with an energy performance score of 75 or higher (on a scale of 1-100), using the ENERGY STAR Buildings Benchmarking Tool is awarded the ENERGY STAR label.
