SCS Engineer Earns LEED Accreditation

SCS Engineers (SCS) is pleased to announce that Bruce Clark, P.E., has become a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Accredited Professional (AP). Clark is a project director at SCS’s Tampa, Fla., office and his professional experience over 28 years includes management of new building construction, major renovation projects and building condition assessments.

SCS is a member of the U.S. Green Building Council, a nonprofit organization that administers this credential program. The LEED certification process provides a template for guiding the planning, design and construction of high-performance buildings, incorporating many green and sustainable elements and features to reduce environmental impact. Buildings developed in line with these principles can provide a higher quality occupant experience, increase occupant productivity and reduce operation and maintenance costs for the owner over the lifetime of the building. The LEED process incorporates a scoring system that can result in certification at one of several progressively higher levels--from basic, “Certified”, to the highest level, “Platinum.”

A LEED AP typically manages the LEED building certification process. The LEED AP has demonstrated through examination and experience a thorough understanding of green building practices and principles as well as the LEED scoring/rating system. LEED AP involvement on a building project’s team provides one point towards certification.

LEED certification is one element of SCS’s environmental sustainability policy.
