SiteStuff Employees Achieve LEED-EB Accreditation

Austin, TX (April 25, 2008)- SiteStuff, Inc. the nation’s leading commercial real estate procurement and e-commerce company, is pleased to announce that Tom Forshee, Director of Sustainability and Special Projects and Geoff Stasio, Sales Manager, have both successfully completed the LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) for Existing Building accreditation.  As LEED Accredited Professionals, both Tom and Geoff will be responsible for sustainability strategies delivered to the SiteStuff client base. 

An eight-year SiteStuff employee, Tom has managed multiple lighting retrofit programs and energy reduction initiatives for 100-million-square-foot corporate facilities through out his tenure. Tom received his accreditation earlier this year and has been responsible for developing and overseeing large-scale energy related projects. His previous experience includes facility and operations management for both the Rouse Company and Tandy Corporation, where he was responsible for capital projects and facilities maintenance. 

In his seven year tenure with SiteStuff, Geoff has had success working with regional and national clients who provide janitorial, landscaping, HVAC and roofing services to commercial real estate managers. As more of the commercial built environment focuses on implementing sustainable building practices, the 'greening' of contract services such as cleaning, pest control, water management, waste stream management and energy management has become an integral part of that strategy.   SiteStuff provides a Contract Management Solution that streamlines the bidding of building service contracts for property personnel and includes an extensive contractor directory with over 20 building service categories in all major metropolitan markets.

LEED Professional Accreditation, bestowed by the U.S. Green Building Council, distinguishes building professionals with the knowledge and skills to successfully steward the LEED certification process. LEED Accredited Professionals (LEED APs) have demonstrated a thorough understanding of green building practices and principles and the LEED Rating System.

LEED certification provides independent, third-party verification that a building project meets the highest green building and performance measures. SiteStuff is committed to providing eco-friendly initiatives and Maintenance, Repair and Operation (MRO) supplies that help clients achieve environmentally sustainable goals and limit harmful impact on the environment.  SiteStuff’s online Green Catalog is the single source for procurement of these products for commercial real estate.

"As demonstrated by Tom and Geoff's LEED Professional Accreditations, SiteStuff is fully committed to sustainability and green initiatives for our clients in the commercial real estate industry," said Paul Cialdella, Vice President, Operations. "As a procurement services company for commercial real estate, it is imperative that we continue to focus on strategies that help our clients reach their sustainability goals. We are building a team that will include additional LEED accredited consultants. They will assist clients in the evaluation and prioritization of operational initiatives. We will do the leg work and provide our clients with a resource beyond the everyday product and services procurement platform.”
