What are ENERGY STAR® and LEED certifications?

ENERGY STAR^® is a performance-based certification and nationally recognized commitment to energy conservation that is given only to the top 25% of the most energy-efficient of U.S. buildings. Performance Services supports the application process and submits the application to help our clients gain the recognition and prestige their successful efforts deserve.

LEED is a design-based certification developed by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) to encourage and accelerate good building practices and help promote sustainability for both new and existing (LEED-EB) buildings. LEED recognizes sustainable design in six key areas of human and environmental health. Performance Services employs a staff of LEED AP accredited professionals to assist owners who wish to pursue LEED certification. Nearly 50 percent of LEED points can be awarded if a building is certified as ENERGY STAR^® based on the Energy and Atmosphere and Indoor Environmental Quality LEED point categories.
