Building Owners and Managers Association

The Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA International) is a trade organization founded in 1907 for commercial real estate professionals.

[2] Its mission is to advance the performance of commercial real estate through advocacy, promoting professional competency, standards and research.

[8] BOMA is a founding member of the International Property Measurement Standards Coalition.

[9] In 2002, BOMA worked with Arizona State University and the Athena Institute to evolve the Green Globes sustainability assessment tool to be more widely adoptable by US and Canadian commercial properties as part of the Green Building Initiative.

[11] It was designed to facilitate building owners and tenants entering into environmentally sustainable leases without the rigidity of the guidelines proscribed by the U.S. Green Building Council.
