Success Matters

At the Compass Group, we have a demonstrated record of success.  Our team has helped over 20 buildings achieve certification.  We have earned LEED certification for 100% of the buildings we have submitted for our clients.  Our experienced team is able to guide project teams through the certification process while helping them to realize opportunities to save money and improve their efficiency along the way.

Experience Matters

Our team is comprised of four LEED APs, two of whom are certified LEED reviewers.  We bring a unique perspective to our work due to our review experience and our long history of involvement with the USGBC.  We consult on all of the LEED rating systems, with a particular specialty in LEED for Existing Buildings.  All of our team members have been working with LEED-EB since v2.0 or before, and have provided technical consulting services to the USGBC on newer versions of LEED-EB.  We have helped our clients implement LEED in a wide breadth of building types, from libraries to distribution centers to schools.

Our Clients Matter

We realize no two clients are alike.  For this reason, we tailor our approach to each one, providing a strategy and level of services that works for them.  At the beginning of each project, we review the LEED scorecard together and decide which credits are reasonable to pursue based on the building’s current status and the client’s goals and budgets.  We minimize the amount of work our clients need to do by pursuing credits strategically.  Our level of support also varies by project.  For some clients, all that is needed is a pre-submittal review of the application.  Others need assistance with just specific credits.  And still other clients want our full support from the first meeting to the final certification acceptance.  We have tools and strategies that work for everyone.
