Green Building Certification

Be Recognized for Efficient Environmental Design with LEED Certification

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Certification is an internationally recognized rating system for the design, construction, and operation of high performance green buildings.

Certification is offered for various stages in a building’s life and Prism specializes in LEED Commercial Interiors (CI) and Existing Buildings Operation and Maintenance (EB O&M). CI focuses on occupant renovations and improving existing building technology to achieve LEED goals, while EB O&M is geared towards operations and behaviour change to promote sustainability, energy efficiency, and environmental awareness.

For EB O&M, Prism provides an initial evaluation of current building operations and management. At the end of the study, we determine whether the LEED prerequisites are achievable and, if so, what modifications are required to reach the desired level of certification, be it silver, gold, or platinum. We will also prepare budget estimates for achieving that level of certification.

For CI, Prism assists clients by preparing the tenant improvement package and completing the templates necessary to submit their application to the Canadian Green Building Council, the governing body for Canadian LEED certification. Our extensive background in building systems and energy management allows us to guide you through the modification process, offer insight during installation of new equipment, and assist in streamlining the certification process.
