LEED certification consulting
LEED Certification: A Comprehensive Vision for Sustainable Construction
At Knnova Design, we specialize in obtaining LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certifications for our projects. LEED is the global standard for sustainable buildings, and we offer a full range of services to meet your requirements and ensure green and efficient construction.
Types of certification:
Requirements:
-
Land Sustainability: Selecting sites that minimize environmental impact and promote connectivity and sustainable transportation.
-
Energy Efficiency: Implementation of energy efficiency strategies in design and construction, including the use of renewable energy systems.
-
Efficient Water Use: Integration of technologies and practices that reduce water consumption and efficiently manage wastewater.
-
Materials and Resources: Selecting sustainable materials and construction practices that minimize waste and maximize recycling and reuse.
-
Indoor Environmental Quality: Design to improve indoor air quality, natural lighting, and thermal comfort for occupants.
At Knnova Design, our experts will guide your project through every stage of the LEED process, from initial planning to final certification. We have a highly trained team to ensure that your project not only meets LEED standards but also exceeds your expectations in terms of sustainability and efficiency.
💧 WELL Building
We assess how built spaces impact people's health, well-being, and productivity. This is based on categories such as air, water, light, thermal comfort, sound, nutrition, movement, and mind.
🏠 CASA Colombia
Similar to LEED certification, we offer support and advice with the CASA Colombia Seal, designed to certify housing projects using criteria adapted to the Colombian climate, regulatory, and social context. We evaluate aspects of energy and water efficiency, indoor air quality, waste management, and a sustainable urban environment.
⚙️ ISO 50001 (Energy Management)
We work hand in hand with the international standard ISO 50001 for energy management, applicable to any organization, including buildings, with the goal of establishing policies, procedures, and measurements to continuously improve energy performance, reducing costs and greenhouse gas emissions. Buildings certified under ISO 50001 demonstrate a structured and verifiable commitment to energy efficiency, complementing other management systems such as ISO 9001 or ISO 14001.
We offer internal consulting and auditing services.
🟩 EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies)
We promote sustainable buildings through the EDGE certification guidelines based on three measurable aspects: energy efficiency, water efficiency, and reduction of embodied energy in materials. It is a practical, fast, and cost-effective tool, ideal for residential, commercial, and institutional projects.
