The Green Certification Program is a voluntary, self-guided initiative that promotes sustainable practices. Green building certifications are a great way to showcase your firm’s focus on sustainability to prospective tenants and investors.

LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), issued by U.S Green Building Council is the most easily recognized sustainable building certification out there. It has nine separate certification programs, including ones for commercial, retail, new construction, existing buildings, and more.

The Green Globes certification program is offered through the Green Building Initiative. It consists of three categories: new construction, existing buildings, and interiors.

NABER'S is a green building certification available to Australian projects only. It measures environmental impact on a six-star scale, based on energy use, waste production, water use, and indoor environment.

The Comprehensive Assessment System for Built Environment Efficiency is a green building certification in Japan, though it’s currently being piloted for international use.

The program certifies residential and commercial construction, urban development, and city management.
