Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design
LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, was created to define “green building” by establishing a common standard of measurement; promoting integrated, whole-building design practices; recognizing environmental leadership in the building industry and raising consumer awareness of green building benefits.

The Weidt Group has performed the building modeling, incorporating several energy saving solutions as part of Jamar’s value engineering process, helping this project to earn the LEED classification. Energy saving solutions include; working with water reduction and efficiency; chemical free water treatment system; installing high efficiency variable frequency drive motors; increased boiler and chiller efficiencies; CO2 monitoring and control of outside air.
