About LoraxPro
The vision behind the creation of LoraxPRO is simple... our goal is to dramatically
increase the number of certified green buildings.
We do this by driving down total time costs associated with LEED certification,
while driving up the value-added quotient of every professional involved in the
green building project.
LoraxPRO builds off the experiences and successes of Lorax Partnerships. Formed
in 2003, Lorax Partnerships is one of the top LEED consulting firms in the Mid-Atlantic
and recipient of the 2008 USGBC Maryland Green Business of the Year award. Lorax
has significant green building expertise with over 100 projects in various stages
of the LEED certification process, spanning numerous LEED rating systems.
LoraxPRO's four company founders are diverse in experience, astute to the advantages
inherent to green building, and long on customer focus, drive, and passion for our
work. Each founder has a strong background in the technology industry which, when
combined with our years of LEED experience, has created the ideal set of reference
points to launch LoraxPRO as a customer-focused, essential addition to any green
building project team.
