The Green Globes Emerging Professional (GGEP) program is designed for college students pursuing a design, engineering, construction management, and/or sustainability degree, although students in any discipline are welcome. GGEP candidates may also be architects, engineers, or sustainability professionals early in their career who do not have the 5 years of experience required to become a Green Globes Professional (GGP). The GGEP training program includes topics such as the importance of green building, an introduction to GBI and the Green Globes certification system, and sustainability concepts. This introductory credential is an excellent way for participants to become familiar with the background, topics, terminology, and processes related to Green Globes prior to becoming active in the green building community and earning the Green Globes Professional credential.
