The Green Building Initiative (GBI) is seeking applicants to serve as members of its consensus body, which is being formed to formally update its new construction assessment protocol, ANSI/GBI 01-2010: Green Building Assessment Protocol for Commercial Buildings. The standard was originally completed in 2010 and must be updated every five years according to procedures established by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
According to Vicki Worden, president of Camden, Maine, based Worden Associates, Inc., and secretariat for the GBI's standard development process, "Participation is open to any member of the public with appropriate expertise and experience. Membership in GBI is not required."
