This document provides an overview of the Green Globes Continual Improvement of Existing Buildings (CIEB) third-party rating and certification process. It discusses that Green Globes is a web-based environmental rating system owned by the Green Building Initiative for existing buildings. The process involves completing an online questionnaire, having it assessed by a qualified third-party, and receiving a rating of one to four globes if 35% or higher is achieved. A plaque and marketing materials are provided for certified buildings.

Abstract
As per the growing demands of wireless communication there is enormous new technologies participating to make sophisticated environment for an end user. In a recent survey of International Telecommunication Union (ITU) it was found that the number of mobile phone subscribers has exceeds seven billion subscriptions at the end of 2014 using more than 10 to 15 internet utility apps which is more than the entire population of planet. To serve this increasing number and size of wireless communication system the German physicist – Harald Haas proposed a “Li–Fi technology” which he calls “Data through illumination” or “D-Light”. Li-Fi is a new approach of VLC which has much more similar working of a OFC communication system providing data rates of ten’s of Gbps. In this technology data is interpreted by the LED’s ON/OFF concepts.
This paper gives a brief focus on Li-Fi technology, it’s working principal, some misconceptions about Li-Fi and related researches like Nobel Prize winning Blue Light emitting diode, Optoelectronic integrated circuit (OEIC) receiver, etc.
Keywords: Li- Fi, VLC, Visible light communication, photo detector, optoelectronic integrated circuit, OEIC receiver, AP.

Editor's Notes
This presentation covers: What is Green Globes-CIEB Third-party ratings/certification Recognition
Green Globes™ is a web-based environmental rating system for buildings which evolved in North America but was originally modeled after the U.K.’s BREEAM rating system. A full history of the system’s development is available on GBI’s website. CLICK The Green Building Initiative (GBI) owns the U.S. rights to Green Globes – New Construction (NC) and Green Globes – Continual Improvement of Existing Buildings (CIEB). CLICK GBI is accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) as a standards developer. CLICK The further development of Green Globes is overseen by GBI’s ANSI Technical Committee using ANSI-approved procedures for achieving consensus .
The GBI Web site includes a comprehensive Green Building Incentives Database, which provides information on state, local, utility and federal incentives that promote renewable energy and energy efficiency. Created in partnership with the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency (DSIRE), the system includes information on green building rebates, tax credits and other financial incentives. To access the database, visit the www.thegbi.org and click DSIRE in the right hand corner.
Every project has a dashboard. CLICK Building progress can be checked by stepping through the navigation to get to the dashboard. CLICK Progress is tracked using a color coded system. Click on any of the color bars to enter that assessment area. CLICK The preliminary percentage out of applicable points (1000 possible) is tracked automatically and appears on the dashboard. If the predicted rating is 35% or higher, a Green Globes Certified Rating can be pursued by initiating a third-party assessment. Email info@thegbi.org to indicate your interest in moving forward.
Users of Green Globes – CIEB report the tool to be extremely user-friendly, reducing substantially the need to hire additional and expensive outside consultants. Green Globes – CIEB is affordable for all buildings—not just the elite. If the building achieves the required 35% or more, the next step is to initiate the process of being formally recognized as having met Green Globes standards. To receive recognition, the building must undergo an independent, two-stage review process. First, a highly qualified third-party assessor is assigned by the GBI. The assessor reviews utility bills and facility documentation as proof that the survey has been completed correctly. The assessor then conducts an on-site visit, which includes a walk-through of the building as well as inspection of additional documentation as required. By working with one individual, follow up items and remaining questions are resolved immediately following the site visit. GBI’s third-party assessment process serves as a comprehensive, streamlined and affordable audit confirming that the building’s certification is justified.
To help prepare for the third-party assessment, a pre-assessment checklist is available from the GBI Web site at www.thegbi.org
Ratings of between one and four Green Globes are possible, based on the percentage of points achieved. However, before a building can be publicized as having earned a Green Globes rating, its rating must be confirmed via third-party assessment. Once this is done, GBI will recognize the building by providing both a plaque and PR kit. Case study development is encouraged.
Using Green Globes is an opportunity to make the public aware of a company’s commitment to sustainability. Once the third-party assessment is complete, GBI provides a public relations kit outlining ways to publicize the building as having achieved a Green Globes rating.
GBI also provides a complimentary certificate, and a high quality brushed aluminum plaque can also be ordered from the GBI website.
