Want to make your buildings and organization more environmentally friendly – but don't know where to start? What rating systems should you consider? What do you need to track? And how much is creating a more sustainable workplace going to cost?

IFMA's Green Building Rating Systems Guide

FM:Systems recently partnered with the IFMA Foundation's Sustainability Committee to help answer these questions. In response, they've released the Green Building Rating Systems Guide. Part of a sustainability "how to" series by IFMA, this research initiative:

Summarizes the various building rating systems
Discusses the costs involved with each rating system
Gives insights from facility management experts about how and why a particular certification was achieved for a specific building

The goal of the guide is to enable the reader to make educated decisions about sustainability initiatives for their organization. There is no charge to you, so download the guide today!
