The Ondra-Huyett Organization is pleased to announce that James Eck, Senior Project Manager has received the LEED AP designation by the Green Building Certification Institute. The LEED Accredited Professional (LEED AP) status distinguishes building professionals who have demonstrated a thorough understanding of green building practices and principles and the LEED Rating System. Jim’s accreditation supports Ondra-Huyett’s commitment to green construction and enhances its capabilities in delivering LEED accredited projects. LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is a self-assessing system designed for rating new and existing commercial, institutional, and high-rise residential buildings. It evaluates environmental performance from a "whole building" perspective over a building’s life cycle, providing a definitive standard for what constitutes a green building. “As one of the top construction managers in the region Ondra-Huyett is proud of Jim’s accomplishment. His expanded knowledge elevates our level of service on LEED project teams,” said Mike Ondra, President of Ondra-Huyett Associates, Inc. “I look forward to incorporating LEED practices in the buildings we construct so that our clients gain the economic and environmental benefits of these innovations in design and construction practice,” said Jim Eck after receiving the certification.
