Populus leverages its expertise in green building certification programs, such as LEED for Homes™ and ENERGY STAR™ to provide client-focused project coordination and consulting services.
With so many green building programs to choose from, how do you know which is right for you? Populus will give you the information to help you choose a program that fits your needs. Here are the programs we work with most often:
What makes a building "green"? A few key organizations are setting the standards for certifying green buildings in the U.S. and abroad. Among these are the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Energy and the United States Green Building Council. Achieving a certification from one or more of these organizations can set your project apart and communicate to your clients, your friends or potential buyers that you build "green".
In the emerging field of green building certifications, you can be confident choosing Populus. We have the experience and qualifications to ensure that your certification process is managed effectively and efficiently. At Populus, projects are coordinated by individuals with relevant background experience. When it comes to understanding program requirements, previous experience navigating administrative law comes in handy. When it’s time to explain optimum value engineered framing techniques to the design team, experience as an architectural project manager and framer proves invaluable. Some of our recent project include:
