LEED and Green Globes System

Hello world,

The Green Globes System and LEED “use interactive process as that include online software tools to simplify and accelerate evaluation” according to http://www.thegbi.org/commercial/?.

According to LEEDs' rating system requires building to apply its project types. LEED has many credit categories that may give buildings harder times to receive their approval certification but these credits encourage building to reach for a sustainable status. LEED is a certification status that is given to buildings to obtain. The process involves five steps making it simple to achieve for certification. LEED helps deliver energy and water efficiently healthy, environmentally friendly cost reducing buildings, homes and communities. LEED certified buildings cost less to operate, reducing energy and water usage by 40%. LEED increases the property values of buildings that received certification. LEED seems to be a good certification for advance higher quality buildings.  

Green Globes System has an assessment and certification for sustainable building. Its objective is to demonstrate excellent guidance that will increase building technology for owners, operators, managers, and designers. One building assessment: Building Intelligence Quotation (BIQ) is affordable and easy to use online for building assessment and ranking.

Overall, I believe that Green Globes System is a better solution for the built environment because it is affordable for buildings and the assessments are not too specific where building will have trouble meeting the standards. However, according to our presentation at Aon Center, it is better to start off with Green Globes and then achieve the LEED certification. LEED is better to have in the end because of its certification, while green global provides a starting point and the basics for green buildings.
