LEED Consultancy

LEED is a prestigious green building certificate that is awarded to buildings for their safe design, construction, and maintenance. However, expert LEED Consultants are required to successfully attain the certificate due to its complex scoring and documentation system.

What is LEED?

Buildings account for the highest amount of carbon dioxide emission thus damaging the environment, predominantly. This has led to over-consumption of raw materials and natural resources to meet the increasing demand for comfort.

For cost saving and minimal power reliance, property owners and real estate investors are switching to eco-friendly, renewable energy generation plants. Today, the property market has its own set of Green Building Standards to measure the sustainability of a building.

LEED is one of the most sustainable best Green Building Rating Systems designed by U.S. Green building Council and is adopted by many countries across the globe to ensure environmentally safe buildings.LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design to measure the impact a building has on the environment. There are different rating versions for different kinds of projects including:

  • LEED for New Construction and Renovation
  • LEED for Existing Buildings
  • LEED for Commercial Buildings
  • LEED for core and shell: HVAC and building structure
  • LEED for Homes
  • LEED for Schools, Hospitals, and Retail
  • LEED for Neighborhood Development

This certification program has four levels:

  • Certified:40-49 points
  • Silver: 50-59 points
  • Gold: 60-79 points
  • Platinum: 80+ points

These rating standards widely depend on sustainability, water efficiency, indoor air quality and energy consumption of the building. Energy-saving programs, wastewater treatment programs, use of local and low-emission equipment are also monitored. The LEED certification program is frequently upgraded, and its latest version LEED v4 is performance-based scale focusing vastly on building’s lifespan, human health, and environmental safety.
