As part of H2M's ongoing commitment to sustainability, more and more staff members are becoming LEED Accredited. According to H2M, an architectural, engineering, environmental, planning and laboratory analysis firm, James Williamson, John Collins, P.E. and Adam Post have all earned the U. S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Accredited Professional (AP) status. The LEED Green Building Rating System is designed to encourage energy and resource conservation in the construction and operation of buildings. "We are very proud of the continued hard work and dedication that these three have demonstrated in their professional development here at H2M," said John Molloy, P.E., president and CEO at H2M. LEED Professional Accreditation distinguishes building professionals with the knowledge and skills to successfully steward the LEED Certification process.
