LEED certification

A LEED certification company is a consultant specializing in sustainable design for green buildings, with a focus on ensuring that building projects (either new construction or renovation) will achieve formal LEED certification. This company is a type of sustainable design consultant.

LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. The rating system is developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), while GBCI carries out certification review.

The consultant helps the project pursue the requirements of LEED. That advisory work is distinct from the independent certification review, and both new construction and renovation remain within the consulting scope.
