Weigand follows a unique process for incorporating green features and building practices into every design and development. Each project can be reviewed on a “Green” level to identify “Green ROI” options if desired by the owner. Key decision factors include corporate culture, utility and tax incentives, payback analysis, and LEED certification.
Weigand Construction has been active in sustainable construction initiatives, employing LEED accredited professionals, adding improved environmental building practices and green materials, and participating in the LEED certification process on select projects.

What is LEED Building?
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is a program facilitated by the U.S. Green Building Council that provides third-party verification of green buildings. LEED gives building owners and operators a framework for identifying and implementing practical and measurable green building design, construction, operations, and maintenance solutions.
Weigand identifies and incorporates green building methodology into projects throughout the design and preconstruction phases. Additional sustainable credits can also be discussed if they involve initial costs but provide a reasonable financial return in energy usage over wtime.
