It is important to us to have an independent third party working with and educating our sub-contractors during the inspection process. This helps our team be more efficient and aware of the crucial role inspections and testing play in our finished product. In a fast-paced production home environment it is great to have folks we can rely on to be another step in our quality assurance process.
GBH has been a great help in guiding our team on the requirements and nuances of each of the many green building programs out there. In the relatively short time we’ve been working with them, they’ve brought 3 of our recent projects through to certification. We’re very happy with how GBH is able to quickly ramp up and get familiar with our projects, provide the training and performance testing necessary, and help see the process to completion.
GBH offers focused, intelligent training that was very effective in allowing me to pass the LEED GA and AP exams. Alex and John effectively addressed complex questions […] all while keeping the group moving through the mountain of material we needed to cover. I highly recommend their classes to anyone interested in studying the LEED Rating System.
Green Building Hawaii has provided us with invaluable expertise and professionalism in helping us to secure LEED certification for a number of our LEED for Homes projects. I would highly recommend Green Building Hawaii to anyone in need of LEED consulting services.
GBH made my upgrade to high efficiency lighting easy! They improved my lighting and the presentation of products in my store, all while lowering my electric bill! I highly recommend GBH to upgrade lighting and electrical systems in any home or business easily and affordably – thanks to the rebates, my upgrade was practically free!
