LEED Compliance Audits
Let our experts take your existing building operations and maintenance toward a greener path.
At WasteStrategies, we focus on the waste management component of LEED certification and can provide necessary services for recertification, perform a representative sample, help builders with waste auditing, consultation, or even design a contractor’s entire LEED certified waste recycling and management program.
Our LEED physical (by weight & volume) audit is designed to meet or exceed all LEED EBOM requirements. We will research the local area to understand the current recycling market and all regulatory requirements for waste disposal. Next, we will conduct a pre-characterization walk through to identify waste generation points, current waste and recycling assets onsite, and identify possible recoverable materials categories.
LEED Audit
Our LEED audit involves the following steps:
- Collect a representative sample of waste.
- Physically sort waste in individual categories.
- Weigh all waste categories and determine profile.
LEED Report
Upon completion of the LEED audit, we will deliver a professional LEED report, which includes:
- A description of the current waste management process along with a description of current waste generation sites.
- Written narrative of the audit process and results.
- Photographic narrative of the audit process.
- Graphical chart of waste categories breakout by percentage of weight.
- Recommendations to achieve maximum landfill diversion.
LEED Leadership
WastesStrategies President, Gregory Ross, possesses more than 25 years of sales management expertise in solid waste, special waste, and recycling waste stream management. Greg also participated with USDGBC in the development of LEED sections MR Credit 2.1 and MR Credit 2.2 for Construction Waste Management. Greg has performed countless LEED Waste Management projects as well as having created an action plan for contractors and subcontractors to ensure that construction, demolition and land-clearing debris are diverted from landfills and incinerators, sending recovered resources back to the manufacturing process and redirecting reusable materials to appropriate sites. This action plan is a blueprint to ensure that construction projects are executed properly to maximize LEED credits.
