Congratulations to our LEED®ers!
Posted by Bryan Klammer
Lighting Design Alliance is proud to announce that the majority of our design staff have now passed the USGBC LEED® Accredited Professionals exam. LDA team members are now fully trained to positively impact not only the lighting systems on a LEED® construction process, but can also assist and implement our understanding of all environmentally sustainable building systems from conception to completion. With the rising popularity of LEED® certified projects in most market sectors, the LDA staff realizes the impact that LEED® influenced projects have in how we will construct projects for the future and that is why we have certified over two-thirds of our staff with LEED® AP qualifications.
LEED® is an internationally recognized certification system that measures how well a building or community performs 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.
