Which activities are within GBCI responsibilities?

• A. Oversees national building codes.
• B. Funds green building research.
• C. Manages and administers project certification process, professional credentialing examination and CMP.
• D. Maintains LEED rating system.

Answer: (C)

GBCI functions as the independent certification body for LEED, handling the certification of projects and the credentialing of professionals, including the LEED professional credential examinations and the Continuing Education Maintenance Program (CMP). This is why the described option is correct. The other activities fall outside GBCI’s scope: national building codes are developed by code organizations such as the International Code Council, not GBCI; funding green building research is typically done by governments, foundations, or research groups; and maintaining the LEED rating system is the responsibility of USGBC, which develops and maintains the rating system while GBCI focuses on certification and credentialing.
