I had the opportunity to review your article, “Green Building Movement Gains Even More Momentum”. Thanks for taking the time to learn more about the Green Building Initiative and our efforts to accelerate the adoption of green building principles and practices. I would like to address one rather significant misperception.
Our efforts to establish Green Globes as an American National Standard through the American National Standards Institute and those of the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America and the U.S. Green Building Council to establish a minimum standard under ANSI are fundamentally different.
