Is the Green Globes system new?
The Green Globes system was introduced in the United States in 2004. It was adapted from a Canadian protocol of the same name, and is one of only two green building rating systems recommended by the Canadian government. Under the trade name Go Green Comprehensive (soon to be Go Green Plus), it is the basis for the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) of Canada’s national energy and environmental program for existing buildings and is also being used by the federal government for its entire existing building portfolio.
