Green Building Certifications Consulting
for Sustainable Projects

LEED Certification

SOCOTEC has been a leader in LEED since its inception, guiding complex projects such as campuses, multi-building developments, and phased construction. By engaging early in the design process, we support identifying cost-effective paths to seamlessly integrate key components into project development.

We help clients maximize points across energy, water, walls, windows, materials, and site categories. Our team ensures documentation is accurate, complete, and optimized for streamlined reviews, saving both time and resources while delivering measurable sustainability outcomes.

LEED Proven Provider

With a strong track record working with the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) on Credit Interpretation Requests, SOCOTEC holds the distinction of Proven Provider status, granting our clients expedited reviews and direct access to a dedicated USGBC program manager.

WELL and Fitwel

Health and well-being are now central to sustainable building practices. At SOCOTEC, we guide our clients through the WELL and Fitwel frameworks by focusing on the intersection of design, operations, and workplace culture. From air quality and lighting to wellness policies and safety protocols, we provide tailored strategies that improve occupant comfort, productivity, and long-term value. Our technical expertise makes these people-centered certifications achievable without unnecessary complexity.

SOCOTEC is WELL Enterprise Provider

SOCOTEC has joined the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI) as a newly designated WELL Enterprise Provider, enabling it to deliver comprehensive WELL solutions at scale. This designation allows the organization to help clients implement WELL strategies across their portfolios, supporting broader goals such as ESG reporting, human and social capital management, and workplace strategy, while advancing health and well-being for people and communities.

BREEAM

As one of the few U.S. consultancies with accredited BREEAM assessors, we offer our clients unique access to this internationally recognized sustainable building certification. BREEAM evaluates a building’s performance across environmental, social, and economic criteria, helping owners improve efficiency, resilience, and market value while strengthening ESG commitments.

Unlike LEED, which follows U.S.-based standards, BREEAM is rooted in European benchmarks and places stronger emphasis on material emissions testing and product transparency, giving projects a broader, globally aligned perspective on sustainability.
