Website now says Green Business Certification Institute, but the Confirmation of Agent's Authority form stills says "Green Building Certification Institute".

Does it matter? Does anyone know?

(Submitted a query to GBCI)

thanks!

Been "Business" since the organization was announced, as far as I remember. Or at least for a long time. There clearly was a pivot to broaden the scope of the organization, which has played out over the last several years with various acquisitions, etc.
Also note it is "Inc" not "Institute." Easy to overlook!

Yes - caught the "Inc." when I checked again. The Confirmation of Agent's Authority form that is downloaded from LEED Online has the GBCI logo and says "Green Building Certification InstituteTM" at the very top. Every such form we have used says "Building". Even good old Wikipedia has an entry: "It was established as the Green Building Certification Institute in January 2008 with the support of the U.S. Green Building Council.....") All my old study materials say the same thing. So...just wondering about legal implications....

Can't answer anything about legal implications, but the org changed its name from "Green Building Certification Institute" to "Green Business Certification, Inc" in....2016 or 2017? I forget when exactly, but that's the wording.
