LEED Certified Buildings are not only more energy efficient, but they exceed normal building standards in areas like indoor environmental quality, water efficiency, Waste reduction, and environmentally friendly materials. At the same time adding value to your home, creating a healthier indoor living environment, and promoting social and environmental responsibility.
As a LEED Accredited Professional, I’m able guide you through the process. There are choices to be made in the design phase regarding the preliminary rating and which credits are most feasible to pursue based on your project specific characteristics and goals.
There might also be tax incentives, (based on region), and rebates offered by government and utility companies for meeting certain criteria. Some municipalities offer opportunities for plan check fee reduction and expedited plan check.
