Beyond the Checkbox:
Navigating the Full Spectrum of Green Building Standards
"We have moved past the era of singular compliance goals into a new age of holistic environmental, social, and economic excellence."
Achieving leadership in sustainability now requires deep, cross-disciplinary expertise to navigate a complex ecosystem of certification systems. At AECO, a recognized green building consultant and member of the USGBC (U.S. Green Building Council), we stand at the forefront of this evolution.
Our core strategy focuses on innovation and excellence, offering specialized consulting services rooted in a broad spectrum of industry-leading accreditations to deliver global value.
The Core: Unmatched LEED Expertise
Our fundamental expertise lies in LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), the world’s most preferred green building rating system. From new construction to healthcare facilities and commercial interiors, LEED sets the benchmark for high performance.
At the heart of our service is the guidance provided by our specialized LEED Accredited Professionals (APs).
Streamlined Certification
A specialized LEED AP (BD+C, O+M) acts as a principal participant, streamlining the entire certification process.
Technical Proficiency
We grasp vital interdependencies among credits, ensuring the project earns specific expertise points while maximizing overall scoring.
Measurable Benefits
LEED translates to lower operating costs and enhanced asset value. Research suggests ~4% lower vacancy rates in certified properties.
Expanding Horizons: Diverse Accreditations
The challenges facing the built environment—from operational carbon emissions to occupant health—demand integrated solutions that extend beyond any single standard. AECO’s consulting services are informed by expertise across multiple frameworks.
