Surmount Energy HQ gets LEED Platinum certification

The U.S. Green Building Council has awarded Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Commercial Interiors Platinum Rating to Surmount Energy’s corporate office in CBD Belapur, Navi Mumbai.
 
The 19-year-old public building that sits atop the CBD Belapur Railway station has used its own green energy consulting expertise to convert the space into a sustainable space using the most advanced conservation measures for energy and water that it could pursue. The space has also been redesigned to provide a high performing indoor environment for its employees.



Surmount intends to use the space as one of the first green showrooms in India where architects, contractors, sustainability specialists and students would be able to learn about sustainable features, products and technologies. Surmount will also use it to display its own BuildTrack automation product suite that can deliver sustainability, safety, security and convenience to residential and commercial spaces.

Balbir Khera, CEO of Surmount Energy, says, “We, at Surmount have been enabling many MNC’s and developers take the Sustainable road to construction through both LEED and GRIHA. We have one of the largest and best LEED and GRIHA certified professional team with hands on experience. Therefore, it is gratifying to achieve one of the world’s top green certification honors, and we strongly believe that the invaluable experience that we have earned, allows us to serve our clients even better.”

LEED consists of a suite of rating systems for the design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings, homes and neighborhoods. LEED includes four levels of certification Certified, Silver, Gold and Platinum. LEED certification provides independent, third-party verification that a building, home or community was designed and built using strategies aimed at achieving high performance in key areas of human and environmental health: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality.
