The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System, developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), provides a suite of standards for environmentally sustainable construction. It is regarded as the most influential and comprehensive environmental protection, green building and sustainability rating systems. This system addresses five major areas:
Sustainable sites
Water efficiency
Energy and atmosphere
Materials and resources
Indoor environmental quality

Different versions of the rating system are available for specific project types: LEED for New Construction:, LEED for Existing Buildings, LEED for Commercial Interiors, LEED for Core and Shell, LEED for Homes.

With the rapid growth of green building field, more and more experts, owners and operators in this field have realized the benefits of LEED certification. LEED certified buildings have healthier work and living environment, which contributes to higher productivity and improved employee health, comfort and sustainability of the community. The benefits of implementing a LEED strategy also ranges from reducing operating cost to enhancing market competitiveness. LEED assessment is established by the market spontaneously, and is market-driven based on energy and environment. LEED is a bridge crossing the practice and theory. LEED engineering assessment, an asset with high value, is a practical tool for architecture experts. The project needs to be registered online during the early period of construction. To achieve the expected LEED Certification, the applied project need to gain all prerequisites and more points than a certain level of LEED requires. SPEC is a member of USGBC.

Shanghai Pacific Center and its strategic partners, enjoying rich experience in dealing with LEED certification, have the qualification for LEED Certification service. We provide overall guidance for your project to achieve expected LEED Certification.

To achieve energy efficiency, optimization and sustainable building design, the interaction of building physics, building and environment is the essential core. Engineers of SPEC have rich experiences dealing with energy efficiency design and provide consultation service for you.

Our services include:

Building  Energy Analysis

Adopting domestic and oversea advanced energy analysis software, such as DOE, ESP-r, EnergyPlus, HDY, etc, we calculate and analysis the annual cooling and heating load in the circumstance of real climate, the impact of interior and exterior shadings, ventilation glazing, air infiltration, thermal comfort, the utilization of renewable resources and load matching.

Building Natural Ventilation Design and CFD Simulation of Interior Airflow

We use internationally advanced CFD software, such as Fluent, Cflo, etc, to simulate and analyze the interior airflow of the building on the purpose of optimizing the indoor natural ventilation, improving the indoor air quality, ameliorating the air distribution of the air-conditioning system, enhancing indoor comfort; forecasting and controlling the indoor pollutant distribution.
