LEED EB: Operations and Maintenance
Posted by Bryan Lauer, LEED AP in GoGreen on 30-03-2009
LEED EB: Operations and Maintenance, aka “LEED EBOM”, is the USGBC’s latest version of the Existing Building (EB) guidelines for LEED Certification. LEED EBOM has more credits and less Pre-Requisites compared to the 2.0 Version making LEED “EBOM” easier to obtain LEED Certification.
Obtaining LEED EBOM Certification is a process that can take anywhere from 5 months to 1 year. Hiring a LEED AP with LEED Existing Building experience is the best way to streamline the LEED Certification process.
I am currently undergoing LEED EBOM Certification for a 550,000sf office high-rise in Tampa, FL. As of today, 3/30/09, we are well on our way of becoming LEED Certified.
To find out more about converting your building (office, industrial, residential, retail, school/university, hospital) into a LEED (EBOM) Certified, please contact Bryan Lauer, LEED AP, directly at 813.349.8550 or bblauer@clwrg.com
