LEED® Certification

LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is the most widely used green building rating system in the world. Available for virtually all building types, LEED provides a framework for healthy, highly efficient, and cost-saving green buildings. LEED certification is a globally recognized symbol of sustainability achievement and leadership. A LEED AP credential distinguishes those with advanced knowledge in green building, plus expertise in a particular LEED rating system. Eric LeBlanc met the task of earning and passing the LEED AP certification for Building Design + Construction.

Community Connections

Barry’s Board Impact Award
We offer our congratulations to Barry Brensinger for receiving the New Hampshire Center for Nonprofits’ 2021 Board Impact Award. The awards are presented each year to honor remarkable people and nonprofit organizations that have made outstanding contributions to their communities. Barry has been repeatedly honored as a community leader through his dedicated work with various not-for-profit organizations.
“The whole of life became more meaningful, more purposeful, more rewarding.” Hear about his personal experiences collaborating with nonprofit organizations and the importance of giving back to the community as he ponders this question, “Where is the one place in our society where we are most likely to change the trajectory of our future?”
