Specialist Consulting for LEED and BREEAM Certifications
We transform building envelope performance into certified scores. Technical support helps you achieve the highest international sustainability standards.
Beyond theory, score management
Achieving LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification isn't just a matter of materials, but of process engineering. VM Group assists designers and clients in selecting façade solutions that maximize sustainability scores, focusing on key pillars: low-impact materials, energy performance of the building, and healthy interior environments.
Our Approach to Certification
We don't just provide certified products. Our technical support intervenes during the implementation phase to ensure that design choices fully comply with international requirements (LEED/BREEAM). We analyze the project to optimize credit balance in critical areas:
-
Materials and Resources: Selection of components with Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and a high percentage of recycling.
-
Energy Efficiency: Optimization of the thermal performance of the building envelope to drastically reduce the building's energy demand.
-
Indoor Environmental Quality: Use of low- or zero-emission materials (VOCs), essential for the health of occupants.
-
Impact Management: Support for material traceability (e.g., FSC-certified wood) and reduction of waste on site.
Certification Levels: The Value Scale
The LEED rating system classifies a building's overall efficiency on a scale that rewards design excellence. Our consulting is geared toward achieving the performance objectives defined in the specifications:
