Our Services
What we offer
LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) and Florida Green Building Certification are two esteemed programs dedicated to promoting sustainable building practices. LEED, established by the U.S. Green Building Council, sets the standard for sustainable construction worldwide. This voluntary certification system evaluates various aspects of a building, such as energy efficiency, water conservation, and materials usage, to ensure minimal environmental impact. Conversely, the Florida Green Building Certification program, initiated by the Florida Green Building Coalition, focuses specifically on the state's unique environmental challenges. It prioritizes factors like hurricane resistance, water management, and native landscaping. Both LEED and the Florida Green Building Certification acknowledge the importance of sustainable development, facilitating a greener future in the built environment.
