TRC fully supports Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System norms.
The rating system addresses five major areas: Sustainable
Sites, Water Efficiency, Energy and Atmosphere, Materials
& Resources, and Indoor Environmental Quality.
The LEED Rating System provides the building industry with
consistent and credible standards to construct environment-friendly
buildings.
LEED norms benefit a wide-range of professionals in the
building industry: architects, real estate professionals,
facility managers, engineers, interior designers, landscape
architects, construction managers, lenders and government
officials.
Many TRC engineers such as Derek Wassink, P.E., Brendon
Bergeron, P.E.,and Michael Giannavola, P.E., have successfully
completed the certification exam administered by the United
States Green Building Council (USGBC) and are certified
as "LEED Accredited Professionals". TRC also has
an ongoing in-house training program to get many more of
its engineers certified.
TRC has several LEED projects under construction. The Conservatory
at Celebration Place, Celebration FL, the E.P.D. Research
Laboratory for the Environmental Protection Department in
Broward County, FL, Boca Colonnade Office Building and Parking
Garage in Boca Raton, FL, and Miramar Office Complex in
Miramar, FL., are some of the noted green projects in TRC's
portfolio.
