July 13, 2009

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."
