LEED certification consulting for sustainable buildings
Certifying the sustainability of a building is now a strategic lever for increase its value, reduce operating costs and respond to the growing demands for efficiency, quality and transparency in the real estate sector.
The LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification it is one of the main international standards for sustainable buildings and assesses the environmental performance of the building in key areas such as energy efficiency, water management, materials, indoor environmental quality and occupant comfort.
The certification can be applied to new buildings as well as renovation works, and requires an integrated approach involving design, plant, and site management from the earliest stages.
In this context, relying on LEED certification consultancy allows you to define an effective strategy, optimise costs and score, and reduce the risk of non-compliance. Ollum supports clients, designers and contractors. throughout the entire process, from initial pre-assessment to LEED certification release.
The advantages of LEED certification
Certifying a green building through the LEED protocol has several advantages:
Low-interest financing
Some lenders offer more favourable terms, such as lower interest rates, green mortgages, or other instruments, for projects aiming to achieve LEED certification.
Greatest property value
A LEED-certified building is more attractive to investors and tenants and can be sold or rented at higher values, thanks to the added value of sustainability.
Reducing operating costs
Attention to energy efficiency and water management allows for a reduction in consumption and operating costs over the building’s lifecycle.
Lower environmental impact
LEED certification promotes efficient management of energy, water, and materials, helping to reduce the overall environmental impact of the building.
Greater occupant well-being
Air quality, comfort and safety are central to the LEED standard, fostering healthier and more comfortable environments for those living and working in the spaces.
Regulatory Compliance Support
LEED helps anticipate many regulatory requirements, such as EPBD IV, CAM Construction, and the CPR regulation, facilitating compliance in building projects.
Tailored LEED support for each stakeholder involved
LEED certification involves multiple parties, both during the design and construction phases. Our LEED AP offer:
- LEED support for the client:LEED strategy definition, level selection, LEED specification writing
- LEED support for architectural and engineering firms:Technical assistance during the design phase, translating LEED prerequisites and credits into concrete design choices
- LEED support for construction companies and General Contractors:Management of credits related to materials, site waste, environmental plans, operational support
How to obtain LEED certification: requirements and costs
To obtain LEED environmental certification, it is necessary adhere to all mandatory prerequisites, and get at least 40 points out of 110 via LEED credits.
The sum of the points obtained through credits determines the certification level achieved. (Certified, Silver, Gold or Premium).
Our support LEED AP consultants
The path to obtaining LEED certification for green building is very structured. Ollum offers you technical consulting support at all stages:
1. Project pre-assessment
Analysis of LEED prerequisites and preliminary assessment of the building’s certifiability, with a definition of the the most effective LEED strategy depending on the project objectives, costs and achievable certification level.
2. Project Registration
Support in the official project registration on the portal LEED Online / GBC Italia, including administrative procedures and initial requirements.
3. Integrated design and energy modelling
Integrated design support, energy modelling of the building and definition of the LEED credits to pursue, with the objective of maximising the score while avoiding sub-optimal solutions.
4. LEED Specification and Pre-certification
Drafting the LEED performance specification to support the bid and site phases, and any potential pre-certification request, when provided for by the applicable LEED scheme.
5. Construction and commissioning
Support during the construction phase and verification of system performance through commissioning activities, to ensure the correct implementation of LEED requirements during the execution phase.
6. Final certification
Thorough review of the documentation and support during the verification process by GBCI, until LEED certification issuance with the achieved level (Certified, Silver, Gold or Platinum)
LEED Standards and Certification Types
We operate according to the most up-to-date LEED standards, which are LEED v4.1, currently applied to most projects, and soon also the LEED v.5. We also support customers in transitioning between standard versions. We offer support for the main types of certification:
-
LEED BD+C (Building Design and Construction)
For new constructions and major refurbishments (including LEED certifications for retail and shops. -
LEED O+M (Operations and Maintenance)
For existing, operational buildings, with targeted interventions on environmental performance. -
LEED In Use / Existing Buildings
Paths suitable for operational properties that want to improve performance, management, and monitoring.
