LEED Certifications: We specialize in various types of LEED certifications, each tailored to meet specific sustainability and environmental criteria. These certifications not only enhance a building’s environmental performance but also increase its appeal to a broader range of tenants.

LEED for Building Design and Construction (BD+C): New construction and major renovations, emphasizing site selection, energy efficiency, water conservation, materials, and indoor quality.

Certification Levels: Projects are rated based on points in categories. Certification levels are:

  • Certified: 40-49 points
  • Silver: 50-59 points
  • Gold: 60-79 points
  • Platinum: 80+ points

These certifications promote sustainability through energy efficiency, water conservation, indoor air quality, and more. At Building Certification Services, we guide clients toward the right LEED path, fostering eco-responsibility while attracting tenants and optimizing operations.

IFC Edge Certification: As a relatively recent certification, IFC Edge holds immense potential. We offer our guidance and support to help our clients achieve this certification, which encompasses a holistic approach to sustainable building practices.

IFC Edge (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies) building certifications offer a cutting-edge approach to sustainable construction, providing a transformative framework that goes beyond conventional building practices. These certifications recognize and promote resource-efficient design and construction, emphasizing a holistic integration of environmental, social, and financial considerations. IFC Edge certifications, a relatively recent addition to the sustainable building landscape, serve as a beacon for forward-thinking projects that prioritize innovation, efficiency, and a reduced environmental footprint.
