Understanding the LEED-EB Certification Process

registration, certification and application process. We recently completed

that also includes surveyed data from Facility Managers on best
sustainable building practices. The Report
was released as part of
IFMA World Workplace 2006 Conference
that took place October 8-10 in San Diego, CA.

Increasing the Environmental Sustainability
of Organizations
Leonardo Academy helps companies, organizations and events become more
sustainable. We also help them promote these good deeds. We worked with SCA Tissue North America of
Neenah, WI
to investigate what steps SCA Tissue could take to increase the sustainability of
their manufacturing facilities and operations. We also investigated ways to
align and promote their current sustainable activities and products to the
growing green building
and LEED-EB
market.
Leonardo Academy's Cleaner & Greener® Program
While most emissions offsetting programs focus only on
greenhouse gasses, Leonardo Academy's Cleaner and Greener program works to reduce and offset emissions that fuel climate change, as well as those that are detrimental to
human health. The program makes it
simple for organizations, buildings, events and individuals to reduce their environmental footprint and to live more sustainably by reducing and offsetting emissions. More
