More than sixty Morrison Hershfield staff members have now successfully attained LEED® AP designations. The LEED AP (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Accredited Professional) designation demonstrates their thorough understanding of green building principles and practices and familiarity with LEED® requirements, resources and processes.
The sixty plus professionals are from varying walks of engineering and technology life, with various disciplines and levels of seniority within the company. They span Morrison Hershfield offices across North America. This LEED® milestone is a true indication of our diversity and widespread commitment, support of staff, and support in general to environmental sustainability, as announced last Earth Day. Sustainability holds no boundaries of a particular discipline or technical expertise. Multidisciplinary interests and competencies truly contribute to sustainable solutions.
A significant aspect to the evolution of Morrison Hershfield’s sustainability consulting is our provision of bundled services. We provide clients with civil engineering, LEED® consulting, commissioning, energy simulation, building code consulting, building envelope consulting and other specialized and unique services. This unified approach serves clients better by offering single points of contact, strong integration between team members and a common vision of the project objectives. Using this approach, we proactively help clients achieve efficient solutions.
LEED® is the top green building rating system in North America and is the benchmark for high-performance buildings. This rigorous system validates environmental performance in five key areas: sustainable site; material and resource conservation; energy efficiency; water efficiency and indoor environmental quality. Buildings are assigned one of four possible levels of certification: platinum, gold, silver, and certified.
Morrison Hershfield is committed to helping clients understand their environmental challenges and to incorporating sustainable design solutions to help them meet these challenges.
