HMS Bolsters Its Green Building Credentials, Again


HMS Interior Designer, Amy Savoie, has successfully completed the LEED Accredited Professional test for Commercial Interiors through the Green Building Certification Institute. Her achievement propels HMS Architects to rank among the most qualified LEED savvy architectural firms in Louisiana. Amy joins Michael Vega, Nate Walker and Scott Welty at HMS in the pursuit of green building practices as LEED Accredited professionals.

The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program, administered by the U.S. Green Building Council, sets specific benchmarks and standards to define and measure the environmentally friendly aspects of buildings. A certified LEED AP can help to streamline the process, having demonstrated sufficient knowledge of the process and the strategies of making a LEED Certified Building.
