USGBC/IGBC LEED certifications
LEED is an internationally recognized green building certification system, providing third-party verification that a building or community was designed and built using strategies aimed at improving performance across all the metrics that matter most: energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental quality, and stewardship of resources and sensitivity to their impacts.
Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), LEED provides building owners and operators a concise framework for identifying and implementing practical and measurable green building design, construction, operations and maintenance solutions.
LSquare provide with energy efficiency consultancy by using an art of advance software techniques and tools in Building performance. Energy efficiency is the important part for any green building and its energy performance. Green Building Concepts assists its customers with personal one on one attention. Green Building Concepts Save energy and improve your illumination with fluorescent and high intensity discharge lamps.
LEED is flexible enough to apply to all building types – commercial as well as residential. It works throughout the building lifecycle – design and construction, operations and maintenance, tenant fit out, and significant retrofit. And LEED for Neighborhood Development extends the benefits of LEED beyond the building footprint into the neighborhood it serves.
LEED points are awarded on a 100-point scale, and credits are weighted to reflect their potential environmental impacts. Additionally, 10 bonus credits are available, four of which address regionally specific environmental issues.
Projects; Under LEED Standards are SCHOOL, Neighbor Hood Development, SEZ…..
It promotes a whole-building approach to sustainability by recognizing performance in key areas:

Business Challenges
> Scattered knowledge in areas of code of conduct , practitioners , methodology, road map that adheres with green standards
> Right Project Scope & Execution Methodology- Do we really need professional services to practice it?
> Integrated Solutions- are they a very costly affair?
What LSquare Offers?
Laying the groundwork for a LEED project can be a daunting task. The responsibilities of many credits overlap between disciplines, while defining which credits to pursue is not a transparent procedure. For these reasons choosing an experienced facilitator to conduct your LEED Charrette in a neutral, but authoritative method is paramount to the success of any project.
We will give your team the opportunity to achieve the following goals:
> Confirm the owner’s goals for the project and define the purpose of pursuing LEED certification
> Specify the level of attainment (yes, no or maybe) for each LEED point by identifying both the opportunities and limitations of the project
> Brainstorm potential credit strategies and analyze results
> Identify team member skill sets and focus their efforts on specific objectives
Through this one to two day Charrette, LSquare will inspire your team to work together in an efficient and effective method. The result is a viable LEED credit strategy that sets your project team down the path of sustainability and clearly defines the desired outcome of the project, as well as the means of achieving this outcome.
Of all the stages in the Life-Cycle of a building, the energy used in the operation phase has the greatest environmental impact. Accordingly focusing on this consumption is extremely effective in reducing a building’s overall consumption, yet determining energy use in a building’s operation phase is not always an intuitive process for even the most experienced designers.
