Status Acknowledges Ecoimpact’s Role as High-Quality LEED Project Administrator.

Today, Ecoimpact Consulting announced that the Green Business Certification, Inc. (GBCI) has designated Ecoimpact a LEED® Proven Provider™ for the Building Design and Construction, BD+C, rating system family. This designation was developed to streamline the LEED project review process for experienced organizations that demonstrate consistent excellence in administering LEED projects.  

“Quality is at the core of the LEED certification process, and Ecoimpact has exhibited expertise in helping to bring healthy, high-performing buildings to the market,” said Sarah Alexander, senior vice president of certification, GBCI. “The LEED Proven Provider model represents a great partnership between Ecoimpact and GBCI, because it allows GBCI to maintain a rigorous certification program and gives Ecoimpact an opportunity to deliver LEED projects to its clients faster.”

“We are honored to receive the LEED Proven Provider designation for BD+C projects, this designation is a testament to the experience, high-quality standards, and dedication of our team,” said Summer Minchew, managing partner, Ecoimpact Consulting. “Our goal on every project is to make the LEED process successful, manageable, and repeatable for our clients. The LEED Proven Provider designation will help Ecoimpact continue to deliver on that objective.”

LEED Proven Provider is designed to encourage and reward high-quality LEED project submissions to minimize the need for additional work during the project review process. It represents an opportunity for Ecoimpact and LEED reviewers to work together to enhance the LEED certification experience, simultaneously allowing Ecoimpact to further invest in quality control and continuous improvement and allowing LEED reviewers more opportunities for direct engagement with and support for project teams.

Recently certified LEED projects from Ecoimpact include:

  • The RailYard, a 326,500 sf office mixed use building in Charlotte, achieved LEED BD+C: CS Silver certification.

  • The Michelle Obama Southeast Center of Bread for the City, a 28,000 sf community resource facility in Washington DC, achieved LEED BD+C: NC, Gold certification.

  • Audi Field at Buzzard Point in Washington DC, a 20,000-seat stadium for the MLS team DC United, achieved LEED BD+C: NC, Gold certification.
