Excel-Erating Green Building In Brooklyn

BROOKLYN, N.Y., Aug. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Furthering its commitment to
environmentally responsible and energy efficient building practices, Brooklyn
based Excel Builders & Renovators Inc. became a member of the US Green
Building Council this week.
The USGBC is a national, non-profit organization committed to transforming
the way buildings and communities are designed, built and operated, enabling
an environmentally and socially responsible, healthy and prosperous
environment.
"We looked at several green organizations before we decided to become
members of the USGBC," according to Excel president Matthew Goldfine. "They
are the industry benchmark. We have had a long standing commitment to
environmentally conscious building practices and the USGBC's vision and
commitment most closely reflects our own."
The USGBC provides top quality education on green building practices,
including a professional accreditation program that certifies individuals who
have demonstrated a thorough understanding of the principles of the Leadership
in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system. The LEED rating
system is a third party certification program and the nationally accepted
benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high performance green
buildings. It gives building owners and operators the tools they need to have
an immediate and measurable impact on their building's green performance.
"We have begun the process of education and implementing the LEED
practices and tools offered," Goldfine added. "These issues have always been
very important to us and this is just one more way to fulfill that
commitment."
