Drahota employees earn their LEED accreditation

Drahota Construction’s Derek Cohen, a project manager; Ed Hurtubis, an assistant project manager in Steamboat; and Brad McDanald, an assistant superintendent, all have earned LEED accreditation from the U.S. Green Building Council, according to a news release. LEED, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is widely recognized as the standard in the design, construction, and operation of green buildings, the release stated.

LEED professional accreditation distinguishes building professionals with the knowledge and skills to successfully steward the LEED certification process. LEED accredited professionals have demonstrated a thorough understanding of green building practices and principles and the LEED rating system. In order to earn LEED certification through the LEED rating system, a building must meet the highest green building and performance measures and is then deemed to be environmentally responsible and profitable, as well as a healthy place to live and work.

With this accreditation, Cohen, Hurtubis and McDanald and their LEED accredited counterparts at Drahota are not only well-educated about green building practices, but they also can guide Drahota clients who want to construct buildings that will earn LEED certification, the release stated.
