Green building consulting

Two green building programs & rating systems have become the national standard since 1998: the EPA's ENERGY STAR® & the US Green Building Council®'s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) Rating System. And, the green standard gets raised higher every 3-4 years by these programs, & more importantly by project owners & tenants.

Voluntary green strategies have become mandatory in many markets. And, yesterday's LEED Gold may be tomorrow's LEED Silver or Certified.

Since 2005, Momentum Bay has served as the Business Developer for one of only nine firms on contract with the US Green Building Council to perform certification reviews of all LEED® for New Construction project applications.

This firm's experienced green team of consultants is comprised of architects, engineers, an environmental scientist, planners & interior designers, of whom several are LEED faculty members. In fact, the firm was the 30th member of the USGBC® (out of more than 15,000 members today), has successfully managed the certification of more than 40 LEED certified projects, & has hundreds of other LEED buildings in process or with certifications pending.

Some of our most recent Texas projects include a K-12 school pursuing LEED-NC Gold & Designed to Earn the ENERGY STAR designation, a community college, a LEED-NC Gold certified bank, a municipal building, a courthouse, & a large automotive project.

Our partner's consultants are genuinely interested in helping Texas create strong local networks of green experts. The firm's consultants complement development, design, construction & operations teams by providing non-competitive consulting & technical services, including:

Consulting:  eco-charrette facilitation, LEED consulting, LEED project management, LEED documentation, greening specifications, customized & comprehensive green building workshops & LEED trainings for green teams (from CEO to subcontractors)

Technical:  energy modeling, daylight analysis, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), life cycle cost analysis (LCA), & in one region of the country commissioning (Cx), retrocommissioning (RCx), & building & facilities operations audits.
