Currently, Yates has over 60 LEED AP's. Providing these professionals with continuous education and training by our newly established Sustainable Services Department, our goal is to have in-house sustainable/LEED experts participate early in the preconstruction phase to help minimize the ecological footprint of the project, as well as significantly improve the energy efficiency, resulting in dramatically lower utility costs. The primary function of our Sustainable Services Department is to manage clients' LEED Design and Construction process, and ensure the highest level of certification for the least cost and optimum life cycle performance. YATES is an active United States Green Building Council member and has constructed or is currently involved with the following projects that are pursuing LEED Certification: National Steel Car Manufacturing Plant   Tracage Condominium   Armed Forces Retirement Home   Georgia Tech Klaus Building   GSA Building   GSA Federal Courthouse   Aviation Brigade Barracks
