Appeal of Sustainable High-End Housing Underlines the Importance of Thoughtful and Efficient Green Design, says Alliance Energy Partners

LOS ANGELES, May 30, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- A May 23 article on Curbed discusses how new high-end housing developments in places like Florida and California are using sustainability features as selling points to well-heeled prospective homeowners. Jesse Crawford, principal of Los Angeles-based Alliance Energy Partners, says that, while green goals vary greatly, the appeal to renters and buyers is very real and more and more builders and owners of both residential and commercial developments are dedicated to hitting the marks outlined in such programs as LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification. However, he adds, it is important that individuals involved in construction projects go about getting over those hurdles in a thoughtful way.

"Going green with LEED Certification is a sensible goal for any project, but companies should be careful in how they go about it if they want to gain the maximum benefit from this and other programs," says Mr. Crawford. "The problem is that, in many cases, there can be change orders and other kinds of unexpected issues that waste any enterprise's two most important commodities: money and time. Alliance Energy Partners is a leader in green design consulting because we never need to bring in outside consultants halfway through a project. We have all the necessary skills and accreditations right here," Mr. Crawford said.

"We have LEED AP's [Accredited Professionals] on our team, as well as the services of a Certified Energy Plans Examiner and a Certified Energy Analyst, not to mention in-depth backgrounds in engineering and construction," says Mr. Crawford. "That means the change orders that owners and project managers dread just don't happen with us, and so are able to cover an entire project with a single preset fee. This puts us ahead of other consultants who very often have to bring in expensive and time-consuming outside expertise as contingencies occur. "

"Aside from consulting on LEED certifications, we're here to help on the full range of issues involved with green engineering design, energy benchmarks and audits, HERS rating, as well as Title 24 and commissioning equipment," adds Mr. Crawford. "Whether a building is brand new or is being converted, delays and complications on the way to compliance are close to being inevitable, but we can minimize the length of the delays and eliminate any additional costs involved, and that puts Alliance Energy Partners at the head of the pack," concluded Mr. Crawford.
