LEED

The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System™ encourages and accelerates global adoption of sustainable green building and development practices through the creation and implementation of universally understood and accepted tools and performance criteria.

LEED is a third-party certification program and the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings. LEED gives building owners and operators the tools they need to have an immediate and measurable impact on their buildings’ performance. LEED promotes a whole-building approach to sustainability by recognizing performance in five key areas of human and environmental health: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality.

Hanlon Engineering can assist in defining your Projects environmental target and corresponding budget.  HE helps focus the design team to achieve the LEED goal.  Value engineering applicable to green investments relating to energy & money saving features will align goals with Life Cycle benefits rather than Short Term Costs.  The team will produce innovative green solutions & be able to recognize opportunities for integrated synergies to earn LEED credits without increasing costs by identifying means of offsetting certain expenses through savings in other areas.
