BONITA SPRINGS, Fla. (Oct. 14) – E3 Building Sciences has
become the first private-sector LEED Homes Provider in
Florida.
A LEED Homes Provider is responsible for overseeing the
certification of a LEED for Homes project. They act as the
liaison between the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC)
and the Green Raters gathering the LEED documentation,
which is necessary to verify the green attributes of both
single-family and multi-family residential dwellings. The
USGBC developed the family of LEED Green Building
Rating Systems, which are the leading national benchmarks
for measuring and certifying the sustainable attributes of
residential and commercial properties.
“We see our partnership with the USGBC as a LEED Homes
Provider to be a continuation of our commitment to bring
high performance buildings into the mainstream that are
economically, socially and ecologically sustainable,” said
Ben Millar, Director of Business Development.
Since E3 Building Sciences was founded in 2002, it has
specialized in the design, engineering, and third-party
verification of more than 3,500 energy-efficient buildings
for the residential and commercial sectors within the
U.S. Southeast, Gulf States, and the Caribbean. It is
the leading certifier of Energy Star homes in the State
of Florida. Such efforts have resulted in projects with
better indoor air quality, a reduced impact on the
overall environment, greater durability and sustainability,
and significant energy and operating cost savings to
building owners.
E3 Building Sciences is one of 36 LEED Homes Providers
nationwide. The Florida Solar Energy Center was
designated the first academic-sector LEED Homes
Provider in Florida.
