Canada Assessment Fees
Disclaimer: This pricing is valid for 2024 (Canada) only and is provided as guidance only. Each building/project has unique issues, such as size, boundaries, energy system choices, single vs. campus, parking and other issues, that require review by a GBI staff person before a formal quote can be issued. Caution should be used in referencing this information and if pricing is needed to formulate a proposal to a secondary customer please request a formal quote through your GBI User Account prior to including estimated pricing in your proposal.
Project Registration ($2,000 CAD)
Registering your project gives you access to the Green Globes online software and questionnaire, required for assessment and certification.

Assessor Travel
Most site visits will be conducted virtually. This will require the project team walking the site while the Green Globes Assessor is on video. There are a few complex project types that will still require an in-person assessor site visit (i.e. data centers, large hospitals, laboratories, etc). This will be determined when a quote is presented. If an in-person site visit is required or requested, a $2,000 CAD travel stipend will be charged.
Recognition Items (Optional)
A variety of items are available for purchase to promote your project’s Green Globes certification, including plaques and decals. Please visit our recognition partner website, American Diversity, to review options and purchase.
