Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)
KAS has a LEED Accredited Professional on Staff who evaluates each project to determine possible green building strategies that may be applicable to the design.

Green Building
Sustainability or “Green Building” is becoming more prevalent in today’s architectural design and development. Societal and governmental concern for the environment and energy conservation is driving this movement and once again, KAS is on the cutting edge.

KAS designed Fire Station No. 7 for the city of Denton, TX which recently earned Gold LEED Certification from the US Green Building Council, and is the first fire station in Texas to achieve this distinction. It is only the second such fire station in the USA.

We are members of the USGBC and the North Texas Chapter of the USGBC.

LEED Rating System
The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System™ is the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high-performance green buildings. LEED provides building owners and operators with the tools they need to have an immediate and measureable impact on their buildings’ performance.

Project Certification
LEED certification provides independent, third-party verification that a building project is environmentally responsible, profitable and a healthy place to live and work.

Professional Accreditation
LEED Accredited Professionals are professionals who have demonstrated a thorough understanding of green building practices and principles and familiarity with LEED requirements, resources and processes.
