“With many corporations and the Federal Government committing to sustainable buildings as one of their top priorities, we wanted to ensure that we could provide our clients with unsurpassed knowledge and services,” said Kennedy.  “Not many commercial real estate executives have achieved this accreditation so we are proud to be ahead of the curve, for the benefit of our clients’ and the future of real estate.”

The LEED AP Certification is managed by the Green Building Certification Institute (GBCI) and was established with the support of the U.S. Green Building Council.

According to the GBCI website, LEED APs have demonstrated a thorough understanding of green building practices and principles and the LEED Rating System. Only 75,000 people nationwide, in all disciplines of services, have earned the credential since the Professional Accreditation program was launched in 2001.  This amounts to only a 34% pass ratio for the individuals who have studied and sat for the exam.

LEED is an internationally recognized certification system that measures how well a building or community performs across all the metrics that matter most: energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental quality, and stewardship of resources and sensitivity to their impacts.
