Sustainability / LEED®
Treat the Earth Well

Plan to Achieve!

As facility owners, developers, and design and construction professionals, we have a responsibility to ensure the health of people and ecosystems, and the form and function of cities, communities, and life-cycle operations of our planet. Achieving a building that serves as a benchmark for energy efficiency and environmental responsibility is truly a team effort.

Throughout design, Whiting-Turner’s LEED® Accredited Professionals promote whole-systems thinking, and clarify the relationship between desired program features, initial budget, and life-cycle cost. As part of the planning process we:

• Help establish certification goals early
• Participate in / conduct charrettes
• Analyze on-site energy, lighting, and water conservation
• Promote materials reuse and recycling
• Ensure indoor air quality during construction
• Develop waste management/documentation plans
• Develop commissioning plans
