• The LEED® ( Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Building Rating System is the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings.
• There are different LEED Rating Systems for different types of projects:
  - LEED-NC for New Construction & Major Renovations
  - LEED-CI for Commercial Interiors (Fit-outs)
  - LEED-EB for Existing Buildings
  - LEED-CS for Core and Shell
• It only takes 26 points to achieve certification under LEED-NC, 32 under LEED-EB. Silver, Gold & Platinum levels can be achieved with additional credits.
• A LEED Accredited Professional is proficient in the process of achieving LEED certification and can make this process a whole lot easier for you.
• Making a LEED Accredited Professional an integral member of the design team automatically earns you one LEED Credit.

• 5 out of 7 LEED NC prerequisites are the responsibility of the mechanical and electrical engineers
• More than half (between 53% and 59%) of all LEED credits are the responsibility of the mechanical and electrical engineers
• The remaining credits are divided between the architect, the site/civil engineers, and the commissioning agent.

Wouldn't you prefer to have Engineers on your team who already have
LEED experience and a LEED accredited professional on staff?
