UHG Consulting

LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), is an independent, non-profit, third-party rating system for new and existing buildings through the United States Green Building Council. The LEED rating system is completely voluntary and consensus-based, incorporating both established industry principles and innovative environmental technology.

We can help your business determine whether LEED certification is feasible for your building and represent your interests while guiding you through the process. UHG is a member of the U.S. Green Building Council and assigns a LEED Accredited Professional to each project.

Pre-Application Project Analysis
If LEED certification is a goal for your organization but you're unsure how achievable it is for your building, UHG can help with a Pre-Application Project Analysis. This analysis is a 1-2 month study of a property to determine where it stands in relation LEED. UHG will meet with staff and collect data from the property to accurately estimate:
- How many credits a property can achieve
- How long the certification process will take
- What LEED certification will cost
- What steps need to occur before the performance period can begin

LEED Project Manager
The LEED process relies heavily on the documentation of the project by a local source. The creation of this documentation can be very time consuming and precise, thus most organizations hire an experienced firm like UHG to manage the process as LEED Project Manager. In this role, UHG normally works alongside the property management, engineering staff, and third party contractors in the following roles:
- Manages the entire LEED process
- Coordinates team work loads
- Fills in the gaps and works in the trenches with clients
- Minimizes client staff time spent on LEED certification

LEED Project Coordinator
Some organizations have the bandwidth to perform the numerous tasks required for LEED. These organizations wish to have someone coordinating their work efforts and providing LEED templates for staff to fill in. For these organizations, UHG acts as Project Coordinator:

- Provides fill-in-the-blank LEED templates
