Status Acknowledges Baumann Consulting’s Role as High-Quality LEED Project Administrator
Washington, D.C. — October 22, 2021 — Today, Baumann Consulting announced that the Green Business Certification, Inc. (GBCI) has designated Baumann Consulting a LEED® Proven Provider™ for the BD+C rating system family. This designation was developed to streamline the LEED project review process for experienced organizations that demonstrate consistent excellence in administering LEED projects.
Baumann Consulting is thrilled to receive this recognition as it is the result of more than 100 successfully certified LEED projects over the past 15 years. Because quality is at the core of our mission, we demonstrate this commitment by investing in quality control programs and implementing efficient internal processes and procedures that provide guidance, ensure high-quality work and deliverables, and help eliminate errors. These practices have led to our team’s consistent, high-quality LEED project submissions. For our clients, this means they receive the following benefits:
- Streamlined LEED certification process and shorter review times
- Quicker receipt of certification at project completion
- The highest probability that pursued credits are achieved
LEED® Proven Provider™ is designed to encourage and reward high-quality LEED project submissions to minimize the need for additional work during the project review process. It represents an opportunity for Baumann Consulting and LEED reviewers to work together to enhance the LEED certification experience, simultaneously allowing Baumann Consulting to further invest in quality control and continuous improvement and allowing LEED reviewers more opportunities for direct engagement with and support for project teams.
Baumann’s sustainability team has worked on over 170 LEED certification projects totaling 35 million square feet in 8 countries including the US, Mexico, Germany, and other countries throughout Europe. Most of our projects have ambitious goals for sustainability and energy efficiency and have achieved a LEED Gold or Platinum certification. Besides BD+C, our experience includes a wide range of rating systems including LEED for Homes, Interior Design and Construction (ID+C), Building Operations and Maintenance (O+M), Neighborhood Development (ND), and more. Baumann has worked on a range of building types–from office, multifamily, and mixed-use to schools, government, and data centers.
Organizations that demonstrate and maintain high-quality project submissions through LEED Proven Provider receive significant benefits, such as greater access to a LEED reviewer and recognition from USGBC for their sustained track record of high-quality project submissions.
