USGBC Membership and LEED-Certification
The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) is a non-profit organization made up of leaders from every sector of the building maintenance industry working to promote buildings that are environmentally responsible. With sustainability as their core purpose, their mission is to transform the way that buildings and communities are designed, built, and operated.
USGBC has designed the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System™. This system is the nationally accredited benchmark for rating the operation of green buildings.
As a USGBC member, ABM is helping government officials, school campuses, high-tech manufacturing facilities, and large office parks take the initial steps toward a greener environment. At ABM, we have experience developing specific maintenance tasks and procedures to maintain and improve LEED certification.
As a company, we’re working together to monitor and assess our environmental impact, as well as assist clients as they take their first steps toward sustainability. We are committed to measurable improvement as we create a more sustainable approach to facility management.
