Traditional Building's LEED List
As more architects and designers realize that historic preservation and sustainability have similar goals, there has been a movement toward LEED accreditation among those with a background in preservation. While we recognize that LEED isn't the one and only measurement of sustainability, it has become an important benchmark. So we have prepared this list of firms that offer historic preservation and LEED-accredited firm members.
If you don't see your firm name here and you think you should be included, please contact Martha McDonald at mmcdonald@restoremedia.com.
