Comfort Systems believes that sustainable construction reduces environmental impact and has made a commitment towards the USGBC’s Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) building certification program.

LEED is a voluntary building rating system and the national standard for developing green and sustainable buildings. The rating system is a certification program and a nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and maintenance of an energy efficient building.

LEED provides a complete framework for assessing building performance and meeting sustainability goals. It emphasizes state of the art strategies for sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality. It recognizes achievements and promotes expertise in green building through a comprehensive system offering project certification, professional accreditation, training and practical resources.

As building owners are discovering, building or renovating to LEED standards ensures efficiencies that generally result in cost savings over the life of the building. Comfort Systems has moved beyond climate control and indoor comfort to encompass air purity, scientific preservation and green certification for our customers. Green building is about better buildings — healthier for the occupants, less expensive for the owners, more efficient in energy usage and ultimately, less demanding on the environment.
