Tator of G&E|Coldstream receives LEED AP

Wes Tator of Grubb & Ellis|Coldstream Real Estate Advisors, Inc.'s Portsmouth office has been designated a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Development (LEED) Accredited Professional (AP) by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC). The LEED program of the USGBC provides an independent, third-party certification to buildings that are environmentally responsible and energy efficient. David Choate, principal of G&E|Coldstream said "having a LEED accredited designee on staff allows us to better serve our clients and customers in the ever increasing green business environment." G&E|Coldstream has been on the leading edge of this area of development in New Hampshire with projects like the Londonderry ECO Industrial Park and the SERESC building in Bedford. Tator has been associated with Gru&E|Coldstream for the past seven years practicing commercial real estate brokerage and consulting. He serves on the board of directors of Plan New Hampshire, a non-profit organization supporting development of a quality built environment. In order for a building to achieve LEED certification, it must accumulate at least 26 of a possible 69 points in five categories including site selection, water efficiency, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality. LEED buildings are developed with all of the stakeholders such as ownership, engineering, architecture, construction and financing at the table from the beginning of the project. By working together at the outset, stakeholders are able to use individual strategies, such as green roofs, to solve a variety of problems that cut across different lines like preserving runoff water, cooling the building and reducing hot spots.
