It's Time to Get on the LEED Bandwagon
We are pleased to feature LEED certification in this month's newsletter. At Servidyne, we believe in optimizing the performance of buildings to reduce energy and operating costs, lower environmental impact, and improve occupant satisfaction. The LEED "movement" in the United States does a wonderful job of accounting for and delivering all three of these primary benefits.

For those of you who haven't yet gotten on the LEED bandwagon, LEED is an internationally recognized green building certification system,  providing third-party verification that a building uses strategies aimed at improving performance across all the metrics that matter most: energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental quality, and stewardship of resources and sensitivity to their impacts.
 
Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), LEED provides building owners and operators a concise framework for identifying and implementing practical and measurable green building design, construction, operations and maintenance solutions. At Servidyne, we work consultatively with building owners and managers to help them understand how LEED certifiation might help them and how likely it is that it can be attained, and then we work hand in hand with them through a very thorough certification process. It's one of the fastest growing parts of our business, and we would love to help you in your efforts to have your exisitng buildings become LEED certified!
Thank you and happy reading.

Servidyne, Your Partner in LEED
Paving the Way to a Stringent Standard
 
USSA 
Awarded by the U.S. Green Building Council
(USGBC), LEED certification provides third-party
verification that a facility has proven environmental
sustainability. To qualify for this distinction, a project
must meet stringent building material and performance
standards. According to the USGBC Website,
LEED certified facilities demonstrate an owner's
commitment to environmental stewardship and social
responsibility, and result in:

· Lower operating costs / increased asset values
· Reduced landfill waste
· Energy and water conservation
· Healthier and safer buildings for occupants
· Reduced greenhouse gas emissions
· Tax rebates, zoning allowances and other incentives

Servidyne will help you determine which of your properties are best-suited or eligible for LEED-EB certification.  Did you know that obtaining your  
ENERGY STAR benchmarking score is a critical step that should be taken early in the process of considering LEED-EB certification?

The Approach/Process for LEED-EB Certification
Developing a LEED-EB Certification Strategy  
LEED EB-Two Primary Disciplines
 In order to develop and integrate a comprehensive approach to obtaining LEED-EB Certification, you must first understand the two primary disciplines industry leaders bring to LEED-EB projects (sustainability analysts/LEED project management, and engineering consulting) and the four phases of the LEED-EB Certification process.

To better understand the process for LEED Certification, it has been broken out into four key steps:
1.  Intial Assessment
2.  Performance Period
3.  Submission
4.  Review Process
