LEED: Green Building Design, Construction, and Certification
JHK coordinates and implements all tasks associated with the LEED planning, design, construction, documentation, post-construction, and certification process for commercial buildings/spaces and healthcare facilities.
JHK acts as an intermediary between the project team and the owner. We ensure that: 1) the project is compliant with all applicable LEED criteria; 2) the project team is clear on their tasks, roles and responsibilities; and 3) the LEED credits being pursued are within the project’s budgetary constraints, goals and capabilities.
We are vendor neutral, which allows you to work with the team that you assemble. However, JHK does have the necessary professionals in house to fully implement a streamlined process of green building design, construction, and certification, including:
- Architects
- Design teams
- Construction capabilities
- Contractors
- Engineers (HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical)
We have LEED-AP’s (Accredited Professional) on staff and we are a member of and actively involved in the:
US Green Building Council (USGBC)
- Greenbuild Program Committee
- LEED for Healthcare Committee
- LEED for Retail Committee
- USGBC Emerging Green Builders
- USGBC Formal Education Committee
- USGBC Professional Development Committee
- USGBC Research Committee
- LEED Market Sector Committee
Delaware Valley Green Building Council
- Advocacy, Outreach and Affiliation Committee
Keep in Mind…
Although achieving a LEED certification carries many financial, environmental, social and marketing benefits, you do not need to pursue a LEED certification to implement green building principles.
JHK is an expert in applying and customizing applicable green building concepts and methodologies. We work with your project team to implement measurable and tangible results that are compatible with a project’s budgetary capabilities, location, scope and goals.
