Green Building Council (USGBC) or verification of GreenPoint Rated score by Build It Green, for civic or public /private partnership projects above some specified threshold, per the attached model ordinance. Independent third -party verification is a required element of a qualifying ordinance. The City's Green Building Ordinance does not state that the LEED rating for covered City- sponsored projects will be certified through the USGBC. Please submit a letter from the City Manager clarifying that the City will be certifying all City covered projects through the USGBC. All civic projects are eligible to receive free design assistance and grants for LEED certified projects, which will partially offset the cost of certification through the U.S. Green Building Council.
