InfiniteENERGY professionals are experts in LEED certifications from the United States Green Building Council.
Sustainability
A green building is intended to have less impact on the environment, but how a building operates, really determines if it is sustainable. Our sustainability consulting and LEED services for existing buildings focus on sustainable operations and maintenance. By sustainability, we mean making the least impact on the environment that minimizes the effects on future generations.
LEED for Existing Buildings
Our LEED services for existing buildings can involve several aspects, described below.
Gap analysis
Before pursuing LEED for Existing Buildings (LEED EB) certification, InfiniteENERGY recommends conducting a feasibility study, called a LEED gap analysis. A LEED gap analysis helps building owners determine the effort and cost associated with applying for LEED certification. The LEED gap analysis is a process that identifies the path from existing facility operations to the sustainable operations required to attain LEED certification goal. A LEED gap analysis report becomes the roadmap for managing a successful LEED EB project.
Consulting
LEED EB certification begins with characterizing current building operating practices to develop a well-rounded picture of the project. INFINITEENERGY then designs a custom approach to achieve the level of LEED certification desired. We work closely with the building owner, building staff, contractors, and vendors to achieve LEED EB credits. Our responsibility is to guide the LEED project team through the LEED EB certification process with hands-on project management, regularly scheduled project meetings, and sustainability consulting. The objective is to achieve LEED certification goal in a streamlined approach - staying within budget and schedule. INFINITEENERGY consulting services for LEED EB projects incorporate project registration, strategic sustainability consulting, project documentation management, and LEED Online administration. INFINITEENERGY is your team's LEED EB guide from initiation of the project through application review and the awarding of certification.
