LEED Certification Management
A WIDE RANGE OF SUSTAINABILITY MANAGEMENT SERVICES...
LEED Certification Management
LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is a voluntary, consensus-based, market-driven program that provides third-party verification of green buildings. From individual buildings and homes, to entire neighborhoods and communities, LEED is transforming the way built environments are designed, constructed, and operated. Comprehensive and flexible, LEED addresses the entire lifecycle of a building. LEED provides building owners and operators the tools they need to immediately impact their building’s performance and bottom line, while providing healthy indoor spaces for a building’s occupants.
The entire process of certification is managed by GBCI (Green Business Certification Inc.) through a web interface portal known as LEED Online. All communication with GBCI occurs through this online portal. There is no in-person meetings/reviews/inspections scheduled for the LEED rating system. Project teams are expected to use LEED Online to compile all documentation information, which can then be submitted to GBCI for certification reviews. The certification process is administered by GBCI through an independent 3rd-party submission & review process. However, all communication and approvals occur via LEED-Online with GBCI directly.
