LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is the best-recognized and preeminent certification program for the design, construction, maintenance and operations of high-performance green buildings. Developed by the United States Green Building Council, LEED is a series third-party rating systems that include New Commercial Construction, Interior Fit-Outs, Homes, and Existing Building Operation and Maintenance. All of the rating systems focus on transportation, site design, water efficiency, energy efficiency, materials use and impact, and interior environmental quality. With experience on certifications for more than 1.3 Million square feet of project space, we can help you select the system that works best for your organization and sustainability goals.

Passive House is the most stringent design standard for energy use, comfort, and interior air quality. As experts in Passive House Design, we can help achieve energy savings of 75% against comparable new construction for commercial and residential projects. By focusing on building envelope performance and efficient, right-sized systems, we can minimize construction cost, reducing the first-cost premium to 10% of traditional construction, and ensuring quick payback and long-term benefits. We will work with you to pursue design, quality assurance, verification and certification to meet your goals.
