2B Green World (2BGW), a consulting firm specializing in LEED certification for Existing Buildings (EB), has developed a step-by-step process for clients to go through the LEED EB Certification process. 2BGWs – “LEED EB Green Guide” (name of software), takes users through the LEED EB certification process in a user-friendly way.


The program is in its final stages before going public.  We are expected to go live in the 3rd Quarter of 2011.  If you are interested in being in the BETA program please email us – Bryan@2BGreenWorld.com

“We have developed an effective and efficient process for building owners to obtain LEED (EB) Certification”, says Bryan Lauer, Owner of 2B Green World.  “Now anyone has the ability to gauge their project(s) achieving LEED EB Certification.”

“This is a do-it-yourself program that guides you and the ‘Team’, step-by-step, from start to finish, allowing users to keep costs down, and go at their own pace. You can also email a help-center for questions and clarifications.

The initial LEED EB certification process should take anywhere from 1,500 – 2,500 hours, between all Team members. Team members consist of:

* Project Contact/Coordinator – “LEED Project Manager”
* Project Vendors/Contractors:

1. Landscaper
2. Pest Control
3. Window Washer
4. Cleaning Company
5. Light Bulb Supplier
6. Contractor for “build-outs”
7. Recycling – Durable Goods and Ongoing Consumables
8. Waste/Landfill Management
9. HVAC vendors
10. Chiller – Chemical Management Vendor
11. And all other vendors related to the project building(s)
*  TenantsVisitorsProperty Management & Operations Teams
*  LEED EB Green Guide

The step-by-step process easily guides users through all 4 Phases of LEED Certification:

* Phase I – LEED EB Feasibility Study
* Phase II – LEED EB Implementation/Application Submission
* Phase III – LEED EB Final Review/Application Submission
* Phase IV – LEED EB: Ongoing Tracking & Implementation

The step-by-step process was developed for the primary project contact and team members to work on “Task Items”, taking on average 10 – 45 minutes to complete. This allows the Team to complete multiple tasks in one sitting or day, moving the project forward easily.

2B Green World has been awarded 3 Office Buildings in Doral/Miami, FL.  Westside Plaza 1, 2 & 3 are located near Miami International Airport (MIA) in Doral, FL.  Each project is 4-stories, between 108,00 – 160,000 rentable square feet.

Westside Plaza

The projects have started the Feasibility Study, or “GAP” Analysis.  The Study should take between 10-16 weeks until we decide to move forward with LEED Existing Building (EB) Certification.

All 3 projects have respectable Energy Star ratings, due to the Property Management Team – Grubb & Ellis – being proactive with their sustainability goals and initiatives.  Grubb & Ellis has been implementing sustainable initiatives since 2007.  They are now implementing LEED requirements to improve the buildings performance and quality even more.

2B Green World has completed other LEED EB projects in the area.  2525 Ponce de Leon and 2555 Ponce de Leon are located in the heart of Coral Gables.  2525 is nearly 300,000 square feet and 2525, built in 2953 and historic, is nearly 115,000 gross square feet.

2525 received LEED EB Gold Certification in late 2010

For those who don’t understand what LEED Certification is, basically LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) Certification is the process of developing or transforming a building (office, industrial, hotel, hospital, school, etc.) into a sustainable, energy-efficient building when compared to a standard, “Normal” building.  There are many benefits with obtaining LEED Certification, such as:

• Lowering Operating Expenses (primarily Electricity & Water)
• Increase Net Operating Income (NOI)
• Increase Marketability
• Improve Air Quality
• Lower and Track Water-Uses
• Lower and Track Recycling Amounts
• and much more – click here for more info – 2B Green World

The above bullet points summarize the reasons building owners such as Hines, MetLife, Prudential, Wells Fargo and others are LEEDing the way towards a sustainable tomorrow.

All projects I’ve worked on have saved substantial amounts, lowering the operating expenses (increasing NOI) which increases the buildings value (Savings / Cap Rate = Value Created).  Check out those projects here – 2B Green World Projects

For more information about becoming LEED Certified, please email Bryan Lauer at Bryan@2BGreenWorld.com or call 813.96GREEN (47336).
