LEED

HESM&A has embraced Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) green building concepts as the future of environmentally responsible engineering. According to the U.S. Green Building Council, the "LEED Green Building Rating System™ is 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. LEED provides a roadmap for measuring and documenting success for every building type and phase of a building lifecycle." (www.usgbc.org)

HESM&A is committed to helping our clients with their sustainable projects. Our LEED accredited professionals are listed below. We believe that within the next few years LEED certification will be ubiquitous in the United States; therefore we encourage all our technical staff to pursue LEED accreditation.
