us to help make valuable decisions early in design activity, to offer the maximum cost saving benefits to our clients.
Environmental Sustainability has come to the forefront in the Real Estate Development industry, in the form of ”Green Buildings.” The US Green Building Council's various LEED Standards provide building owners and developers comprehensive guidelines, to increase the value of property assets while reducing overall operational costs, thus improving the overall "Triple Bottom Line."
We can assess the potential LEED points a site or building will yield, without a large financial commitment to the building owner. These products are invaluable to real estate developers or building owners researching sites for LEED projects.

Owners and developers will be pleased to discover the many direct similar requirements between LEED, Title 24, CalGreen and CHPS (Collaborative for High Performance Schools). For those applications, to attain all the LEED Certification benefits, simply only added documents and fees would need to be filed.
