Sustainable Development (IDEA-SD)

We’re experts in going green

The IDEA Sustainable Development division has been certified LEED by both the U. S. and Canada Green Building Councils, proof of its expertise in designing environmentally friendly buildings and seeing that the necessary steps are taken to meet LEED requirements.

The LEED system evaluates six different aspects of a building:

site sustainability
water efficiency
energy and atmosphere

materials and resources
indoor environmental quality
innovation and design process

Each aspect is awarded a certain number of points, the total of which determines the project’s ultimate certification: LEED Certified, Silver, Gold or Platinum.
