Earth Advantage Institute offers green certification for small commercial buildings

Sept. 20, 2012

Earth Advantage Institute announced a new green building certification aimed at new or substantially remodeled small commercial buildings built to green standards.

Designed for buildings smaller than 100,000 sf, the certification is administered through a network of partner organizations. The Earth Advantage Commercial offers three levels of certification—platinum, gold and silver—and judges the building across five categories: energy efficiency, healthy environment, use of green materials, sustainable land use, and water conservation.
