Green Building Index (GBI)

The Green Building Index (GBI) is a certification system that evaluates how environmentally friendly and energy-efficient a building is. It considers factors like sustainable materials, water conservation, energy savings, and indoor environmental quality. Buildings that earn GBI certification meet high standards for reducing their impact on the environment, lowering energy costs, and promoting healthier indoor spaces. Essentially, it encourages developers and owners to design and maintain buildings that are greener and more sustainable, benefiting both the environment and the occupants.
