The Green Building Initiative (GBI), a nonprofit organization dedicated to accelerating the adoption of green building best practices<\/a>, announced that MGM Resorts International has earned Four Green Globes\u00ae certifications for a portfolio of 26 retrofit building projects at various MGM Resorts\u2019 Las Vegas properties. Specifically, more than 45 million square feet of hotels, casinos, convention centers and resort campus spaces were overhauled to save energy and water, improve the indoor environment, reduce emissions and resource waste, as well as employ environmental management methods.<\/p>\n

The Green Globes is a rating tool based on a 1,000-point system encompassing seven areas of green building best practices. A third-party certified Green Globes Assessor evaluates every asset based on practices specific to each building. The certification is awarded to buildings that have achieved compliance with at least 85 percent of Green Globes criteria.<\/p>\n
