ANSI/GBI 01-2010: Green Building Assessment Protocol for Commercial Buildings

Green Globes for New Construction The Green Building Initiative Introduction

Presenter

Presentation Notes

The GBI is an ANSI Standards developer since 2005. The American National Standards Institute approved the formal process the GBI used to define a national standard for green building assessment & certification. Over 105 people participated in the development process and the technical committees to create the standard. Four federal agencies were represented along with the AIA and the USGBC. We developed Green Globes for NC from the ANSI standard…… The GBI is currently in the process of revising the standard using ANSI’s continuous maintenance process. The revised Standard, designated BSR/GBI 01-201X according to ANSI protocol is currently under review. The committee is currently reviewing comments from the first public comment period. According to GBI’s published Schedule for Maintenance, this is one of at least two public comment periods under ANSI’s periodic maintenance requirements. GBI plans to maintain the Standard under continuous maintenance to allow for annual or biannual updates.

Green Globes for New Construction Distinguished Lineage

Presenter

Presentation Notes

Green Globes is… North America’s first interactive design guidance, environmental assessment and rating tool It traces its origins to a system started in the United Kingdom called BREEAM, Building Research Establishment Environment Assessment Method. BREEAM is a widely used environmental assessment method for buildings and one of the first systems used globally to rate existing buildings. It set the standard for best practices in sustainable buildings and has become an important measure in describing a buildings environmental performance. More than 250,000 buildings are certified under BREEAM and 4000 under Green Globes in US and Canada.

Green Globes for New Construction Federally Recognized

Presenter

Presentation Notes

GREEN GLOBES IS ACCEPTED AS EQUAL TO LEED BY NATIONAL AUTHORITIES and has achieved recognition by the U.S. federal government. In 2012 a report commissioned every 5 years by the GSA found that GBI’s ANSI Standard version of Green Globes for New Construction met more of the requirements of the federal government than any other program. In 2013, recognition came in a letter to the Secretary of Energy in October 2013 where the GSA recommended agencies use Green Globes and LEED certification systems. In 2014, the Department of Energy adopted a RULE for all Federal agencies that if they want to use a green building rating system for new construction, it has to be either Green Globes or LEED.

Green Globes for New Construction Clients Across Government and Industry

Green Globes for New Construction Features

Presenter

Presentation Notes

All of our programs within the Green Globes Rating system include the following features: Interactive online evaluation Saved responses update the score Online tooltips area available for many criteria Survey is based upon a maximum 1000 point scale Weighted Criteria: The Green Globes 1000 point scale allows for weighted criteria. What this means is that the assigned number of points for individual criteria reflects their relative impact and/or benefit on the sustainability of the building Energy has the highest value in all programs Weighted criteria emphasizes truly sustainable design while minimizing unnecessary “‘point chasing” for criteria that are outside of the project scope or provide relatively little environmental benefit. Animation No Pre-requisites Weighted criteria also negates the need for pre-requisites. Pre-requisites prohibit buildings from measuring any level of sustainability. They are excluded. By utilizing weighted criteria and no pre-requisites, Green Globes provides a more holistic view of a building providing credit for sustainability measures rather than penalizing for lack of prerequisites.

“Non-applicable” provision

Thresholds for incremental recognition


Presenter

Presentation Notes

Non-applicable provisions The online survey has not-applicable (NA) option for many of the criteria. Even if the survey doesn’t allow an NA response, the assessor has the authority to award an NA. Management, Energy Performance, and Water Performance criteria are ineligible for N/A designation. No penalty for NA. In most cases, NA points deducted from the overall applicable points which lowers the denominator when calculating the project score. Essentially it makes other criteria worth a higher percentage. Assessors must use professional judgment to verify technically compelling reasons for NA based upon the following circumstances: Jurisdictional (local jurisdiction not allowing irrigation for landscaping) Occupancy related (Data Centers – thermal comfort criteria) Regional circumstances (HVAC cooling equipment for very high altitudes, regions where passive solar can meet the majority of domestic hot water and heating needs) Project type – (Core & Shell – Highest number of NA, Major Renovation - Green Globes treats major renovations under the Whole Building approach which lowers potential NA, but likely more NA than standard NC project) *************It is important to clarify if a client chooses not to do something, and it is possible within the project to do so, the response should be “No”, not NA*************** Animation Thresholds for incremental recognition Some criteria provide points based upon a threshold value, higher points for higher achievement levels

Presenter

Presentation Notes

Green Globes is designed to guide and assess building sustainability through design, construction, and occupancy. The Green Globes for New Construction and Green Globes for Sustainable Interiors rating systems help users identify targets and goals for creating a green building, provides recommendations for improvement prior to construction, and assesses intended building performance. The Green Globes for Existing Buildings rating system assesses actual building performance and operations by helping building owners and facility managers benchmark their progress, track return on investment (ROI), and avoid performance slippage. The “Green Globes Continuum,” refers to the continuous cycle of user self-evaluation, assessment, and implementation of improvement recommendations to monitor and enhance sustainability throughout the building service life.

Green Globes for New Construction Green Globes NC – Eligibility Guidance

Presenter

Presentation Notes

Eligibility for all Green Globes programs are defined in our Eligibility Guidance document. Eligibility for all Green Globes programs are defined in our Eligibility Guidance document. All buildings should be located within the US or within a US Territory. A Green Globes NC project is typically: General An enclosed structure or a space within an enclosed structure, separating an inside from the outside, with no sides regularly open to the outside. Has a contiguous project boundary and its site – no separation or isolation of project areas (islands) between project site or building elements. Size Is a minimum of 400 square feet. Permanent Location, Fixed Configuration Is constructed as a fixed structure on a permanent site. The occupied, interior space must be a fixed amount of square feet. Building and Project Types Is included as a commercial building within the CBECS database Occupancy and Conditioned Space Is typically designed for human occupancy with HVAC systems that are controlled within the building or space for maintaining space conditions, subject to adjustment or management by occupants themselves. and Water systems Has been occupied less than or equal to 18 months Special Considerations Special assessment guidance applies for NC projects that are major renovations, additions, or core/shell or projects that comprise a group of similar buildings.. Separate buildings must be certified as individual projects. Site and building criteria might apply to each building among a group of buildings, on a college campus or among multi-building apartment village for example, and may be evaluated for credit collectively. For core/shell buildings, “provisional certification” may be approved for credits that would apply to future build-outs, if terms and conditions in the tenant lease agreement require the credits to be implemented. Whether a project-specific or a whole-building/entire-site perspective is used to assess a criterion as NA, the same approach must be used for all credits in the project. Projects cannot selectively choose whole building/entire site perspective as non-applicable for some criteria, but not for other criteria. This principle applies to additions or major renovations that are subordinate spaces in a parent building.

Presenter

Presentation Notes

Green Globes addresses management topics as critical aspects of assessment, incorporating them under a major topical section rather than as innovative or extra credit. Sound management practices inevitably lead to positive outcomes. Note the ‘umbrella’ management approaches – Integrated Design and Delivery (IDP) for new construction and the Environmental Management System (EMS) protocol for existing buildings. GG NC enhances management concepts by incorporating IDP in segments based on project phases; best practices such as Clean Diesel approaches, enhanced/whole building commissioning and comprehensive environmental management during and post construction.

Green Globes for New Construction Information Flow

Construction Documents and Post Construction surveys have two versions Client Assessor Each version retained

Information flows between versions

Presenter

Presentation Notes

The first two surveys, Pre-Design (PD) and Schematic Design (SD), are optional and are not scored. They are designed to help project teams early in the construction process understand the Green Globes assessment requirements. The next two surveys, Construction Documents (CD), and Post Construction (PC) are identical. Unlike the PD and SD surveys, they are scored and required as part of the assessment process. Each of the CD and PC surveys has two versions that are retained part of the project record; one for the client and one for the assessor. Information flows between versions surveys during the assessment process. Only one survey is accessible for edit at any given time, but other versions are available to view. Once the user completes and submits their CD survey, the GBI releases the assessor CD survey to the assessor for edits. All client responses from the Construction Documents survey flow to the assessor version, and the user no longer has access to edit their responses, but they are still available to view. After the assessor completes and submits their CD survey, the GBI will release the client Post Construction Survey to the client which includes the assessor’s Construction Documents survey responses. Once released, the assessor no longer has access to edit. The completion and submission of the PC surveys works the same as the CD surveys.

This is a process map for the NC assessment process. Every assessment begins with the completion and submission of the online survey. Next is scheduling of the Design Review and submission of the documentation to the assessor. The assessor will perform the review, create the assessment report, and send the report to GBI for review and issuance. Next comes the Stage II On-site Assessment which occurs after the construction is essentially complete. The project manager should review and update the survey for any changes made since the Design Review. When updated, they will submit and the GGEP firm will schedule the site visit with the client and assessor and notify GBI of the date. The assessor will perform the on-site assessment, complete the final report and send it to GBI. GBI will review the report and issue the final report and certification.
