FGBC encourages owners to make their buildings green and use sustainable strategies. Their mission is "to lead and promote sustainability with environmental, economic, and social benefits through regional education and certification programs." It is like another alternative to LEED certification and Green Globes. They have their own checklist of green characteristics and levels of achievement.
