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.
