With No Need to Hire a LEED AP, Herman/Stewart Achieves Real Savings With GreenWizard’s WORKflow Pro Solution CHARLESTON, S.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--GreenWizard®, a web-based solution designed to simplify building material selection and the calculation of product-related credits for projects seeking LEED® certification, today announced that Herman/Stewart, a Maryland-based general contractor and developer, has achieved dramatic cost savings through the use of GreenWizard’s WORKflow® Pro solution. By using GreenWizard’s WORKflow Pro, Herman/Stewart accesses an online tool to search for, specify, assess, and even purchase green products.

For instance, through GreenWizard, project-specific records are automatically maintained for LEED certification, and LEED credits are dynamically calculated for the product specifier and project participants as they evaluate and select products. Moreover, in terms of other overall cost-avoidance, and specifically labor-cost-avoidance, Herman/Stewart is able to use GreenWizard as a central repository for all the LEED documentation.
