Developed by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC), LEED is intended to provide building owners a concise framework for identifying and implementing practical and measurable green building design, construction, operations and maintenance solutions.

Sutton primarily specializes as a designated Commissioning Authority under LEED V 3.0 for New Construction, Core and Shell and existing facilities. Our LEED Accredited Professionals (LEED APs) contribute towards the achievement of the following prerequisites and credits:

• EA Pr.1- Fundamental Commissioning of the Building Energy Systems
• EA Cr 1- Optimize Energy Performance
• EA Cr 3- Enhanced Commissioning
• EA Cr 5- Measurement and Verification
• EA Cr 6- Green Power

Benefits of having a Commissioning Authority on board during the pre-design stages and throughout the construction lifecycle are paramount and add significant value to the building owner:

• Reduction of change orders and additional claims
• Fewer defects at substantial completion
• Fewer project delays
• Less post-occupancy corrective work
• Improved indoor air quality and worker productivity
• Lower energy and operation costs
• Value added construction quality
• Complete and useful documentation
