RICHMOND, Va. – Baskervill congratulates Bruce Tyler, AIA; Michael Pellis, AIA; Ljubica Bacic and Jessica White on receiving their LEED Professional Accreditation from the Green Building Certification Institute. The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System™ is the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction, and operation of high performance green buildings, which encourages and accelerates the global adoption of sustainable design practices by determining universally understood and accepted tools and performance criteria.
