LEED Consulting
Stephen Meyer, PE and LEED AP, is skilled in facilitating the “integrated design” process, a fundamental of all sustainable design, construction and operations essential for creating new and existing Performance Green projects and successful certification.

The United States Green Building Council (USGBC) created guidelines for green building called Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED). LEED designations, also known as credentials, were developed for professional builders to be certified to work in the green, or sustainable, building field.

The LEED for Existing Buildings Rating System helps building owners and operators measure operations, improvements, and maintenance on a consistent scale with the goal of maximizing operational efficiency while minimizing environmental impacts. LEED for Existing Buildings addresses whole-building cleaning and maintenance issues (including chemical use), recycling programs, exterior maintenance programs, and systems upgrades. It can be applied both to existing buildings seeking LEED certification for the first time and to projects previously certified under LEED for New Construction, Schools, or Core and Shell.

The LEED for New Construction Rating System is designed to guide and distinguish high-performance commercial and institutional projects, including office buildings, high-rise residential buildings, government buildings, recreational facilities, manufacturing plants, laboratories and more.
