What is it?
Is a non profit organization that is dedicated to transforming the marketplace to be the most sustainable that it can be through LEED, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, Certification
Give an example:
We do certifications for new construction and renovation..for instance upgrading the air conditioning to be more efficient, so users can see energy or utility savings
Do LEED Certified Buildings get higher lease or sales price?
Developers have presented cases demonstrating their clients are interested in paying higher lease rates when they know they their utility bills will be lower
We feel one of the large cornerstones of the continued success of the Green movement is if the savings can be monetized. As cost of electrical and water increase, LEED certifications should offer building developers and managers a dollar reason to focus on energy saving.
