LEED® Certification

Hixson’s LEED Accredited Professionals (APs) help clients explore the latest sustainable facility and system options that will align their facility with corporate goals. The result is a custom, balanced approach that delivers a Return on Investment (ROI) today and into the future.  Hixson’s sustainability expertise includes consulting, design, facility audits, and documentation.

The WELL Building Standard

Hixson was an early adopter of the WELL Building Standard, a program pioneered by Delos® and administered by the International WELL Building Institute™ (IWBI) designed to enhance the health and wellness of a building’s occupants with the goal of improving performance. Hixson’s on-staff WELL APs can assist companies wishing to design WELL features into their facilities.
