Awaiting the results of our LEED Certification.

I recieved an email a few days ago letting us know the status of our LEED certification.  Some of the points we applied for we did recieve and some needed additional clarification.  We had to send it over to the electrical engineer who is working on the project. Many of the points in question pertained to the energy savings.  This I feel is one of our strongest areas.  We should be in good shape.  After she reviews the items in question we can resubmit our application.  It has taken several months and they have been a bit behind.  There are now 4 spas in the country who are certified.  I’m not sure if any of them are New Construction LEED Certified.  We still may be the first.  I need to confirm that with the US Green Building Council.  It shouldn’t be much longer before we get our answer.

  • Thank you Libby for your comment. It was an accomplishment that I am very proud of. I hope that my experience can show other small business that they can do it too, no matter what their size is. Every step we make, makes a difference. I hope you keep reading my blog.
  • That's great news. It's nice to see so many business take the steps to become certified and educate themselves and their employees on energy efficiencies.
  • Congratulations on getting this far, and good luck with the energy savings sections. That's the most important thing, imho (as you can see if you take a look at my blog).
