Sub-committees
As part of the ANSI protocols to develop Green Globes as an ANSI standard, the technical committee members have
formed appropriate sub-committees (click here to view technical committee members).
Each sub-committee will oversee one of Green Globes' criteria categories. Responsibilities of sub-committee members
will include attending committee meetings (typically by phone), providing expertise and contributing constructively
to discussions, as well as (if necessary) seeking out further information between meetings to present to the sub-committee.
