What does LEED certification and consulting include?
LEED is an international system for assessing and certifying sustainable buildings. It covers topics such as energy efficiency, water, materials, indoor environmental quality, location, transport, innovation and environmental impact. Certification supports the creation of buildings with lower operating costs, improved comfort for users and a clearer framework for sustainable development.
IPA - Architecture and more supports clients through consulting and coordination during the entire LEED certification process: from the early concept and investment intention to architectural design, engineering solutions, construction, commissioning and future building operation.
The process includes analysis of certification goals, definition of the applicable LEED criteria, coordination between the investor, designers, consultants and contractors, tracking of the required documentation and support in decision-making related to sustainability, energy efficiency and future building operation.
LEED certification can improve the quality of the built environment, reduce energy and resource consumption, limit negative environmental impact and increase the long-term value of the building. It provides an internationally recognized framework for sustainability, quality and responsible investment management.
The service is directly connected with architectural design, energy modeling, environmental procedures, engineering design, design process management and BREEAM certification. When sustainability requirements are addressed at an early stage, the project has a better chance to achieve realistic, measurable and economically justified results.
