LEED AP is now a credential proudly held by four Munger employees, Steve Mansfield, Vin Della Rocca, Frank Sacramone Jr., and myself.

LEED AP stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, Accredited Professional. This credential was attained by successfully completing a two day, LEED AP New Construction 2008 exam preparation course conducted by Everblue Energy, AND passing the highly challenging LEED AP exam in early January 2009.  Obtaining the LEED AP credential and seeking out the services of other LEED AP vendors is an important component of Munger Construction's Green Initiative.
 
The LEED Green Building Rating System was created by the U.S. Green Building Council, a nonprofit organization, with input from a variety of building industry stakeholders.  The council sought to establish a system that provides independent, third-party verification that a "green" development delivers high performance energy efficiency in an environmentally safe manner.  More than 100 state and local governments, including Connecticut, have enacted green building laws that incorporate LEED rating systems. 
 
Our LEED certification has broadened our knowledge base and allows us to provide assistance to design teams exploring sustainable energy options.  We are now better prepared to offer our customers "Green" choices and to educate people about the incentives that go along with making these changes for their company. 
 
Speaking for myself, I have not had to study extensively or take an exam for MANY years (probably since college). It was undoubtedly a humbling experience. The "thrill of victory," however, was a feeling I won't soon forget!!! I applaud the efforts of Steve, Vin, and Frank and heartily congratulate them on their achievement.
 
Munger Construction has made a commitment to energy efficiency and exploring feasible solutions to protect the environment by utilizing renewable energy.  Becoming LEED- Accredited Professionals has launched us well on our way!  Now, how can we help you???
