Green Building Certification Institute (GBCI)

The Green Building Certification Institute (GBCI) is an organization that certifies buildings, projects, and professionals committed to sustainable and environmentally responsible construction. It administers key green building certification programs, such as LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), which evaluate a building’s energy efficiency, resource use, indoor air quality, and overall environmental impact. GBCI ensures that green building standards are consistently applied and maintained, promoting healthier, more efficient, and eco-friendly spaces. Essentially, it validates and recognizes efforts to create sustainable building solutions that benefit both people and the planet.
