The IgCC creates a regulatory framework for new and existing buildings, establishing minimum green requirements for buildings and complementing voluntary rating systems.
Green building approaches are codified into a number of standards and systems, such as EPA's ENERGY STAR program, the U.S. Green Building Councils Leadership in Energy and Design (LEED) and Passive House.

GBI's New Construction Standard assesses commercial buildings for best practices in integrated design and high-performance green buildings.

Explore the International Green Construction Code (IgCC) for sustainable building that supports environmentally responsible construction.
During this Pre-Development Review, EDA will evaluate the project specific green building plan for compliance with the referenced standards applicable to that specific project type.
