After seeing the previous post about Building Well program that I have never heard of, I realized that there are a lot of sustainable building programs out there. So let's list them.

Here are the ones I know of:

1. Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)
2. Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS)
3. Washington Sustainable Schools Protocol (WSSP)
4. Built Green
5. Passive House
6. Evergreen Sustainable Development Standard
7. Green Globes
8. Building Well

Please list others that you know.

Hi, David, number 8 is the WELL Building Standard, rather than Building Well.
Another sustainable building certification program, number 9, is Enterprise Green Communities, for affordable housing projects.

David,
This list could be incredibly long. Every municipality and state seems to want to make their own program. Try this page from the Whole Building Design Guide: https://www.wbdg.org/resources/green-building-standards-and-certification-systems
It even includes some of the international programs, like Estidama.

RELi Resilience Standard, which has been adopted by USGBC, but is still a stand-alone, all-encompassing standard aimed at moving from sustainability to resiliency. It layers hazard mitigation on top of sustainability.
