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, and laboratories etc.) This will be determined when a quote is presented. If an in-person site visit is required or requested a $2,000 travel stipend for contiguous US will be charged. A higher cost will be evaluated for projects outside of the contiguous U.S. Reviewed on a case by case basis.
For assessments outside the continental US, please contact GBI.
RECOGNITION ITEMS (OPTIONAL)
A variety of items are available for purchase to promote your project's Green Globes certification, including plaques and decals. Prices range from $175 - $1,500.
