The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) created the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards in the year 2000 as a way to differentiate high-performance green buildings from the traditional building stock. Each building that satisfied the LEED requirements would not only become more energy-efficient, durable, and safe but would also go on to earn a “LEED Certification” label for marketability purposes.The LEED AP (Accredited Professional) credential signifies an advanced depth of knowledge in green building practices.

CCC has a LEED Accredited Professional certified for new construction and has worked on LEED-certified projects where site sustainability and recycling of soil, concrete, rebar and asphalt is a requirement on the project.
