Process Results' LEED consultants adhere to the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating SystemTM. Our LEED consultants are LEED Accredited Professionals (LEED AP) who assist clients to achieve certification through the LEED initiatives in new construction, existing buildings, commercial interiors, core and shell, or schools.
Project owners dedicated to environmental preservation and energy conservation should consider LEED certification. LEED recognition offers various benefits for owners, including state and local government incentives, reduced operating costs, improved productivity in the work environment, and recognition for leadership within the green building sector. LEED projects achieve all of this through focusing on six key areas:
LEED certification requires a carefully selected site that minimizes impacts on the environment, from construction through occupancy. Taking into account factors such as community connectivity, occupant transportation options, pollution prevention, and storm water management, the Sustainable Sites category evaluates environmental effects at the core level.
LEED certification promotes water conservation through development of benchmarks related to the water consumed for landscaping and everyday building use.
LEED certification uses a point-system approach to validate and measure building commissioning, reduce energy consumption, and maximize the efficiency of plumbing, HVAC (heating, ventilating, and air conditioning), and lighting systems.
LEED certification encourages the conservation of resources by awarding credits to owners that utilize regionally produced materials, materials with high recycled content, and reusing materials from alternate sites. In addition, they require sufficient space be designated for post-consumer recycling throughout the life cycle of the building.
LEED certification rewards optimal working conditions, and awards credits for thermal comfort, low-emission materials, IAQ management plans, efficient use of daylight, and air delivery monitoring systems.
LEED certification recognizes projects for exceptional performance above and beyond the minimum credit requirements.
