Certification

LEED & BREEAM Certification

Our accredited professionals guide projects through the complex certification process for LEED, BREEAM, and WELL standards. We manage documentation, simulation, and submission end-to-end, so your project achieves its target rating without last-minute surprises.

  • Pre-certification feasibility and credit strategy
  • Energy and daylighting simulation modeling
  • Documentation, submission, and reviewer coordination

Efficiency

Energy Efficiency Consulting

Using advanced energy modeling, we identify opportunities to reduce consumption without compromising occupant comfort. Our retro-commissioning services optimize existing HVAC systems for immediate, measurable savings.

  • Whole-building energy modeling and benchmarking
  • Retro-commissioning of existing HVAC and controls
  • Utility incentive and rebate program guidance
Materials

Sustainable Materials Selection

We advise on material procurement to reduce embodied carbon. Our supply chain analysis ensures materials are sourced responsibly, free of harmful toxins, and aligned with circular economy principles.

  • Embodied carbon assessment and material comparison
  • Supply chain and toxin-free sourcing review
  • Circular economy and end-of-life material planning

Why VerdisKo for certification

Green building certification is won or lost on details most teams don't see coming. We've spent years learning exactly where those details hide.

Multi-standard fluency

Accredited across LEED, BREEAM, and WELL, we recommend the standard that fits your project's region and goals, not just the one we know best.

Full lifecycle support

From pre-certification feasibility and energy modeling through documentation and reviewer coordination: one team the whole way through, not a handoff at every stage.

Credit-level detail

We know which credits are commonly missed, which documentation reviewers actually push back on, and how to avoid the last-minute scramble before submission.

Ask our team
What's the difference between LEED, BREEAM, and WELL certification?

LEED and BREEAM both assess a building's overall environmental performance, covering energy, water, materials, and site impact, but LEED is US-based (USGBC) while BREEAM originates in the UK, and each has its own credit structure. WELL is different: it focuses specifically on occupant health and wellbeing rather than environmental impact. We help clients choose the right standard, or combine them, based on the project's location and goals.

How long does LEED or BREEAM certification typically take?

It depends heavily on project size, target rating, and how early we're brought in. Certification is fastest and cheapest when credit strategy is planned at the design stage rather than retrofitted before submission. We scope realistic timelines with you upfront so there are no surprises later in the process.

Do you only work on new construction, or existing buildings too?

Both. New construction lets us influence design and materials from day one, but a large share of our energy efficiency work is retro-commissioning: optimizing existing HVAC and building systems for immediate savings without construction downtime.

What is embodied carbon, and why does material selection matter?

Embodied carbon is the emissions generated producing, transporting, and installing a material, before the building even opens. For many structures it now rivals or exceeds operational emissions over the building's lifetime, which is why we assess and compare materials early, alongside toxin-free sourcing and circular economy end-of-life planning.

Do you work on multinational or cross-border projects?

Yes. Our consultants have worked on green building projects across multiple countries and regulatory environments, adapting certification strategy to local codes as well as international frameworks like LEED, BREEAM, and IGBC.

How experienced is the team behind these projects?

Our core team brings 15+ years of combined experience across commercial, residential, healthcare, and industrial green building projects, so recommendations are grounded in what's actually been built and certified, not just modeled on paper.
