Loomis Engineers Receive LEED Accreditation

July 2009

Faris Abboushi, PE., MBA., Andy Hollon, P.E. and Cezary Saxon, E.I.T., recently passed the certification exam to become a LEED Accredited Professional. The LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) Green Building Rating System implements consensus-based standards to foster the employment of integrated, “green” building design and construction practices. 

LEED is affiliated with the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), whose mission is “to transform the way buildings and communities are designed, built and operated, enabling an environmentally and socially responsible, healthy, and prosperous environment that improves the quality of life.”[1]

In addition to accrediting professionals, LEED provides certification that a building project meets high performance measures, such as:

• Lowered operating costs and increased asset value
• Reduced waste sent to landfills
• Conservation of energy and water
• Healthier and safer environment for occupants
• Reduced harmful greenhouse gas emissions

 Having a LEED Accredited Professional  in-house supports Loomis Partners' commitment to promoting vibrant, sustainable communities and protecting the environment.
