LEED Recertification is a simple, cost-effective way of verifying and improving performance while enhancing asset values and protecting your investments in sustainability.
Recertification is available to all occupied buildings that have achieved LEED certification — including any version of BD+C and ID+C. Simply use 12 months of performance data as your documentation and earn recertification to the newest version of LEED O+M, valid for 3 years.
The whole process is managed within Arc, a state-of-the-art platform designed to help you collect, manage and benchmark building data so you can improve sustainability performance.
Concerned about the impacts of COVID-19 on building occupancy and performance? Allowances and guidance ensure there is a path to certification for every project!
