Green Building Information Gateway

The Green Building Information Gateway (GBIG) is a novel information technology that provides an unprecedented view of the green building landscape and reveals trends, patterns and processes in green building practice. GBIG allows for the investigation and analysis of data about LEED-certified projects and the larger green building universe as a whole, and enables users to view green building in the context of other spatial and temporal factors.

The GBIG Illinois Pilot represents the first phase of development and a subset of functionality under development for the full portal. This initial pilot allows users to explore and learn about green building projects in Illinois, see the growth of LEED Certified projects over time, and compare selected projects to state averages by credit achievement and Carbon Index values.

Companion mobile apps for the iPhone and iPad are available as free downloads in the Apple Store (search for GBIG). The information displayed in this portal does not represent all projects in the region and may contain errors at this point in time. GBIG is a product of the U.S. Green Building Council Research Program. The project is designed and managed by Dr. Chris Pyke, Anthony Guma, and Mira Panek.
