SAVANNAH, Ga., July 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- A sustainable commercial interiors project for a Canadian bank is the 500^th project to use Green Badger, a premier cloud-based LEED certification software solution for the construction industry.

Govan Brown, a full-service Canadian construction management firm specializing in commercial interiors for the corporate, retail and hospitality markets, is pursuing LEED Silver certification for the single-floor, modern open office fit-out in downtown Toronto, which is slated for completion in October 2020.

"This is a major milestone for Green Badger," said Tommy Linstroth, founder and CEO of Green Badger. "It's gratifying to know that we've helped contractors like Govan Brown eliminate some of the pain points of the LEED certification process, and that we've contributed to more sustainable building projects. Some of these certifications might not have been feasible without technology like Green Badger."

Green Badger helped Govan Brown, part of the STO Building Group family of companies, meet its client's sustainability goals for the project, which included:  

• Selecting materials that conserve raw and non-renewable resources.
• Sourcing materials that provide transparency on material composition.
• Using materials that reduce chemical exposure and enhance indoor air quality.
