Parksmart Advisors lead clients through the GBCI certification process for high-performing, sustainable parking structure design and construction. 

Offered by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) and Green Business Certification Institute (GBCI) alongside the suite of LEED rating systems, Parksmart is the only rating system dedicated to improving the quality and performance of parking structures.  As a unique building type, these structures offer unique opportunities to drive greater sustainability practices and outcomes at the intersection of parking, transportation, and mobility.  

IPMI is the exclusive USGBC Education Partner, and the only provider of the education required to earn this valuable certificate.  

Offers 8 Certification Points and 8 GBCI CE Credits.
