Langan 'LEEDs' the Pack With Well Over 100 LEED APs Firmwide

ELMWOOD PARK, N.J., July 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Langan Engineering & Environmental
Services employs an astounding number of Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design Accredited Professionals (LEED APs) - 121. As a member
of the United States Green Building Council, which governs the LEED program,
Langan made a commitment to significantly grow the number of LEED APs in the
firm by investing in training and encouraging employees to become accredited.
The result: nearly 30 percent of Langan's technical professionals are LEED
APs.

With such a large number of in-house LEED APs, Langan is well positioned to
partner with clients, architects, MEP firms, and contractors seeking LEED
certification on new construction and major renovation projects. In fact,
given Langan's expertise in land development engineering and environmental
services, as well as landscape architecture and planning, the firm can provide
critical assistance in securing project LEED points in categories ranging from
sustainable sites to water efficiency to indoor air quality to energy and
atmosphere.

"Langan recognized that sustainability in general and LEED certification in
particular are the way of the future, so we took steps to incorporate green
thinking and green building into our culture and business practice," said
Michael Szura, LEED AP, ASLA, Director of Langan's Landscape Architecture +
Planning Group and head of the firm's internal Green Team. "With well over 100
LEED APs, I am confident that no other consulting firm can match our
integrated suite of services and comprehensive knowledge of LEED
certification."

Langan's LEED APs can help achieve LEED points in multiple areas including
site selection, brownfield development, habitat protection and restoration,
open space design, parking and transportation planning, stormwater management,
heat island minimization, indoor air quality improvement, green roofs,
low-irrigation, and native landscapes. Additionally, Langan can also suggest
other strategies to maximize a site's environmental performance.

Specifically, with respect to onsite renewable energy, clients can utilize
Langan's core disciplines of geotechnical, site/civil, environmental
engineering, as well as surveying and permitting services to develop green
sources of energy, including biofuels, biomass, geothermal, solar, wind, and
photovoltaic power.

"By selecting Langan, clients can realize what we call 'the green of green':
the measurable financial value we provide our clients, coupled with the
benefits of sustainable design through developing or renovating buildings that
perform at the highest standards of energy and environmental sustainability,"
said Szura.
