team selection / architects + engineers + design professionals
Design and engineering professionals play a critical role in the design and build-out of the leased premises. These professionals should have:
Experience with green building projects and sustainable construction practices
Familiarity with third-party certifications (construction and build-out)
The ability to coordinate the specialized tasks associated with green projects, i.e. the commissioning of building energy-related systems and the balancing of aesthetics with performance-related objectives
Many architectural, design, and engineering firms now include members with these areas of sustainability-related expertise, many of whom are LEED® Accredited Professionals (LEED-AP).
