In January, the USGBC plans to move administration of the LEED certification process to the Green Building Certification Institute, or GBCI, a nonprofit organization established in 2007 with the support of the green building council. GBCI will work with the selected certification bodies to “deliver a substantially improved, ISO compliant certification process that will be able to grow with the green building movement,” the council reported.
