The Green StandardStandard 189.1-2011, Standard for the Design of High-Performance Green Buildings

What is Standard 189.1?

ANSI standard developed in model code language

Provides minimum requirements for high-performance, green buildings

Applies to all buildings except low-rise residential (same as ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1)

Optional compliance path to the International Green Construction Code

Not a design guide or a rating system

Standard 189.1 Provides

Mandatory criteria in all topic areas Simple prescriptive compliance options Flexible performance compliance options Complement green building rating

programs

Why Consider Adopting Standard 189.1?

Minimum green building requirements developed using ANSI consensus process with balanced committee, consensus must be reached by materially affected parties

ASHRAE and USGBC offers training to code officials on detailed requirements of standard
