Mt. Airy, MD – July 19, 2011 – Global Facility Solutions (GFS) announced LEED® Silver certification today
at nine buildings owned by Beacon Capital Partners located throughout the District of Columbia and
northern Virginia. The certifications mark a major milestone in the multi-phase LEED analysis and
commissioning project with Beacon Capital Partners and building manager Cassidy Turley.
LEED certification was awarded under the LEED® for Existing Buildings: Operations & Maintenance
(LEED for Existing Buildings: O&M) rating system, developed by the U.S. Green Building Council
(USGBC). LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is an internationally-recognized
green building certification system.
Working in collaboration with building manager Cassidy Turley, GFS coordinated the prerequisite and
credit process for LEED for Existing Buildings: O&M. GFS completed all necessary LEED EB O&M
documents and supporting documentation as part of the scope of work, including ASHRAE Level 1
energy audits, preventative maintenance plan analysis, building operating plan development and
refrigerant management analysis at each of the facilities. In addition, complete HVAC and controls
retro-commissioning at three facilities was completed under the LEED credits 2.1 and 2.2. All work
within the nine buildings was completed within a three month performance period.
"GFS' extensive experience with the LEED process and credits, including audits, commissioning, indoor
environmental quality testing, documentation, and Energy Star, position us to be a broad-based
knowledgeable and strategic partner for implementing practical, cost efficient green solutions in
buildings," says Robert K. Calloway, PE, Founder and President at GFS.
"We're pleased to support a company's commitment towards energy efficiency and better
environmental performance, and we look forward to continuing this focus with Cassidy and Beacon
through additional LEED commissioning projects throughout the DC, Virginia, and Maryland areas."
GFS has started LEED commissioning at other Cassidy Turley managed facilities as part of the ongoing
project, and future properties are currently proposed and under review.
