Green building consulting

Choose the certification pathway before the drawings choose it for you.

A green-building certification is a schedule of verification as much as a standard: each program decides which inspections happen, when, and who signs off. Green Summit helps developers choose the pathway that fits the project and its capital stack, then keeps design decisions, inspections and documentation aligned with it through closeout — connecting the pathway to your decarbonization goals and reviewing C-PACE financing where the property is eligible.

What we offer real estate developers

  • C-PACE Advisory & Financing Support

    Where the property is eligible, we evaluate whether Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy financing belongs in the plan, coordinating with program administrators, capital providers and your advisors.

  • Decarbonization Consulting

    A carbon plan that fits the building, the budget and the capital cycle: what to do, when to do it and how to measure progress.

  • DOE Efficient New Homes Support

    Plan a higher-performance home from the beginning, with technical coordination, energy analysis and verification planning. The program was formerly called DOE Zero Energy Ready Home, or ZERH.

  • ENERGY STAR Homes Support

    For qualifying home projects, we build rating, technical coordination and field verification into the delivery process, matched to the housing type and program.

  • ENERGY STAR Multifamily New Construction

    For multifamily developments: pathway planning, energy analysis, field verification and certification closeout, so design decisions arrive as verified performance.

  • Enterprise Green Communities Consulting

    For affordable-housing developments, we turn Enterprise Green Communities requirements into one design, construction and documentation plan tied to energy modeling, utility allowances and your housing commitments.

  • FGBC Green Certification Support

    Building in Florida? We align Florida Green Building Coalition requirements, documentation and verification with your building type and construction stage — not every FGBC standard follows the same process.

  • Green Building Consulting & Certification Strategy

    Start here if the program is not yet chosen. We identify the pathway that fits, assign responsibilities and connect the requirements to the design and construction schedule.

  • Indoor AirPlus Support

    Coordinate indoor-air requirements with the building process through technical coordination, checklist review and verification planning sized to the project.

  • LEED Consulting & Certification Support

    Make the selected LEED pathway part of the project plan: technical work, responsibilities and documentation organized around the decisions your team has to make.

  • NGBS Green Certification Support

    Keep National Green Building Standard commitments on track through construction, with requirements, verification and documentation coordinated for new construction and renovation.

  • Phius Consulting & Passive-Building Support

    We coordinate the enclosure, systems and energy analysis that make passive-building goals buildable, and establish the required consultant, rater or verifier roles before assigning the work.

How we work with your team

  • Choose the pathway during design,

    when the requirements can still shape the drawings rather than correct them.

  • Assign the verification roles early.

    Each program has its own inspector, rater or verifier requirements; we establish who does what before the first field visit is due.

  • Keep one project record

    for the certification body, lenders and ownership — audit-ready from day one.
