CEC provides complete support to any project seeking LEED certification.  We provide start-to-finish tailored support to project teams according to their needs.  Our clientele varies from architects who have no experience with LEED, to teams that have significant LEED experience but desire our expert services.

Green Communities

CEC is an approved Technical Assistance Provider for Enterprise Green Communities.  Green Communities is an alternative green building certification and grant program which focuses on creating a healthy living environment within an existing neighborhood fabric.  Modeled after LEED, but designed to be more streamlined for affordable housing developers, Green Communities is an opportunity to bring sustainable design to those most in need.

Commissioning

Commissioning is one of the best ways to realize real-world energy performance.  To ensure all building systems are working according to their design, CEC will work with the design team before construction to do document reviews, and throughout construction to do inspections and testing.  We do qualified commissioning for both LEED and NYSERDA.

Incentives and Financing

Even though many studies indicate that buidlings can be built efficient and sustainable without a significant increase in cost, there are many incentives available to spur more developers to do so.  CEC will advise your project on the availability of incentives to improve financial performance.
