Green Building LEED Consulting

The most effective green projects are created when there is synergy between all members of the project team. Envision Realty Services serves as the catalyst for this synergy. We help lead a project team’s resources with our dedication, knowledge and experience of sustainable building design and construction. Our passion for green sustainable building drives us to meet a project team’s needs through a defined list of goals. While our direct client may be the owner, architect, contractor or facility manager, we invariably serve every team member to ensure the best possible results.

If the project is to be LEED rated, we can help the owner achieve this prestigious accomplishment, whether it is certified or up to Platinum. We are dedicated to the end result in each and every project. Our consultation focuses on strategies that produce the best life-cycle cost impact with improved environmental performance that can keep costs to a minimum. We have an outline to help each project achieve their desired LEED rating with a cost benefit analysis.

Energy Audit Services

Whether Re-commissioning or ASHRAE Level II Audits, Envision's Engineering Department has the expertise and experience to provide tremendous returns on your investment, and four points in LEED EB O&M.

The purpose of the energy audit is to identify and implement strategies to reduce the building’s energy use and operating costs. We will identify all measures that will contribute to reductions in energy use and/or operating costs and provide an estimate of the costs, an estimate of the savings and a cost-benefit analysis. We will follow the procedures outlined in ASHRAE publication, "Procedures for Commercial Building Energy Audits".  At the conclusion of the audit, we will separate the results into low cost/no cost energy conservation measures (ECM’s) that should be immediately implemented and potential capital intensive improvements that will require more thorough data collection and engineering analysis. A comprehensive report of findings will be prepared, and the findings will be reviewed with building ownership and operations personnel to ensure that an understanding of the content has been reached.

Green Building Services

Envision Realty Services believes that there is a growing and unmet demand for properties that are built or retrofitted to be resource-efficient and that are equipped with advanced lighting, heating, and cooling technology, which research shows increases employee productivity.  Envision Realty is a leader in the development and operation of such buildings and will offer the opportunity for higher risk adjusted returns through:

Lower operating expenses. Energy-efficient properties can save 20% to 30% on energy costs, which will have increasing importance in light of expected energy price escalations.

Higher revenues and lower long term capital costs due to the competitive leasing advantage in obtaining and retaining tenants. Employers are becoming more aware of the substantial benefits of improved health, comfort and productivity in high performance green properties.

Top tier market rents with potential future premiums as the demand for green buildings increases; Stable cash flow; and Increased property value.

Our specialty is capitalizing on this opportunity through the acquisition of under-performing properties for redeveloping and repositioning them as high performance green LEED-rated properties.
