Bright Energy Services has offered LEED certification for commercial buildings for many years. Though LEED continues to dominate the market, we’re now moving into the next phase in the evolution of sustainable design. Understanding that there is a convergence of health and wellness in the architecture and engineering space, in 2017 we launched our WELL certification services. WELL is a performance-based system for measuring, certifying, and monitoring features of the built environment that impact the health and wellness of the people who live, work, and learn in the buildings. Bright Energy Services has joined the global community of WELL APs in leading the movement to make buildings healthier for all.
