GBI and AIA Pledge Cooperation

The Green Building Initiative (GBI), which administers the Green Globes building rating system, and The American Institute of Architects (AIA) have signed a memorandum of understanding that expresses their intent to work in concert to promote green building.

Chris McEntee, AIA’s executive vice president and chief executive officer, praised GBI’s “engagement in life-cycle assessment and promotion of post-construction, third-party review.” Included in the memorandum is a pledge to collaborate on educational programs that address life-cycle assessment, Green Globes New Construction, and Green Globes Continual Improvement of Existing Buildings. AIA’s policy is not to endorse specific rating systems but to help its members understand the options and how to use them.
