Why should you consider
LEED© certification?
Because LEED certification employs sustainable construction methods. This process minimizes the impact on the existing
environment by utilizing our limited natural resources in a responsible manner. It provides a healthier and more productive work place for your employees and also reduces operating costs for
the life of the facility.
Seeking LEED certification for your project — whether ground-up or an existing renovation — requires an integrated approach among all team members. It is a collaborative effort among the Owner, Architect, Engineer, Contractor, Subcontractors and Vendors. When selecting team members, you should require that they be LEED Professionals™ and have experience working on LEED certified projects.
Why LANDCO Construction?
Each of LANDCO’s project managers has LEED Professional Credentials™. Our team has completed several projects that have acquired LEED certification. I invite you to review the profile of HOK, our most recent project seeking LEED certification, as well as some useful links containing more information regarding sustainable construction.
Our project managers welcome the opportunity to help you find ways to integrate sustainable construction methods into your next project. Please contact us.
How has LEED Accreditation Changed?
Changes in the LEED rating systems appearing in the new LEED version 3 guidelines, released in April of 2009, include a strong emphasis on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and addressing climate change issues, along with reducing fossil fuel and resource depletion. Indoor environmental quality has a greater focus than the previous LEED version. This is in response to the amount of time a typical American currently spends indoors — which is often over 90 percent. These areas of increased focus are demonstrated through three major differences in this newest version. To learn more about the latest Version 3 changes click here.
