Blue Star has increased its competence in this specialized area over the past two years. Blue Star also has one of the largest pools of LEED Accredited Professionals (LEED APs) in the country who facilitate the certification of Green buildings under the LEED rating system. The services offered include LEED facilitation, energy simulation and third party commissioning. With as many as seven LEED APs and a host of Green building projects coupled with over six decades of experience, Blue Star is uniquely positioned to meet the needs of customers who want to build green.
