Green Globes Personnel Certification Programs support the national adoption and growth of Green Globes by creating, maintaining, and growing a network of contracted individuals trained and authorized to support the assessment and certification process. Green Globes Professionals and Assessors play an important role supporting building practices that result in energy-efficient, healthy, and environmentally sustainable buildings.
