As LEED® Administrators, we do the legwork, paperwork, and the followup. Our professionals manage the complex process, submit all of the required documentation at LEED-Online, and keep track of certification goals throughout design and construction. This entails reviewing documents and LEED submittals, providing discipline-specific assistance, and keeping crucial information flowing among team members.

In keeping with our commitment to sustainable design, TLC Engineering for Architecture encourages our professionals in every discipline and every TLC office to pursue Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) certification by the U.S. Green Building Council. To this end, TLC is now a Florida Board of Professional Engineers-authorized "Area of Practice" continuing education provider.*

We have 75 LEED Accredited Professionals (LEED AP's) in 10 offices throughout Florida, Tennessee, and Texas as well as a certified geothermal designer and 14 ACG-Certified Commissioning Authorities representing the mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and structural disciplines -- more than 20% of our professional and technical staff. Our Sustainable Design Team provides sustainable consulting, design, and/or commissioning services for projects throughout the U.S.

TLC employees who are interested in learning and development opportunities in LEED can sign up for LEED classes offered through TLC University. These instructor-led programs, including a fully accredited FPBE continuing education LEED Exam Workshop (offering 4 PDH’s, half of what Florida PE's need for their biennial renewal) are presented by Director of Sustainable Design Kim Shinn, PE, LEED AP, CxA, CPSM; Manager of Sustainable Design Vince Briones, PE, LEED AP; Deerfield Beach Division Director Brian Lomel, PE, LEED AP, CxA; Jacksonville Division Director Mark Gelfo, PE, LEED AP, CxA; and Cocoa Division Director Gary Krueger, PE, LEED AP.
