Green Globes Multifamily for NC with JNZ includes:
- Minimum requirements for energy efficiency that ensure resource conservation and best practices for future occupancy in a new or renovated space
- Flexibility and multiple pathways to success
- A question set that prompts users to think critically about their project
- Third-party assessor Preliminary Assessment to evaluate current design and projected rating, allowing opportunity for changes to be made prior to construction
- Site assessment providing assurance of certification claims
- Protocol Guidance documents identify criteria that are likely to be non-applicable for multifamily projects, streamlining the assessment process
- Interactive software with technical guidance to evaluate reductions in energy consumption
“Having reintroduced myself to GBI’s Green Globes certification, I can truly say that the efforts to align with science based, ANSI and ASHRAE standards, as well as the inclusion of resilience, health and wellness, along with sustainability aspects make Green Globes a compelling 3 for 1 value proposition. The fact that Green Globes, even with its enhanced rigor, can be used for almost any property type should be important for the overall real estate market.”
