Washington, D.C. – (November 17, 2009) -Today the world’s leading green building organizations have reached a ground-breaking agreement to adopt a common global language for the measurement of the carbon footprint of buildings.

Just weeks ahead of COP15 in Copenhagen, this is a critical and timely step that will enable the world to realise the unparalleled, cost-effective carbon mitigation potential of buildings, which account for around 40% of the world’s energy use and 33% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
