The Story Behind Green Badger

Letter from Green Badger Founder and CEO, Tommy Linstroth

I’ve been involved with sustainable design and construction my entire career. I started on the owner’s side as Director of Sustainability for a development company, then transitioned into running the consulting firm Trident Sustainability Group, and now as the founder and CEO of Green Badger. I’m a huge proponent of not only sustainable design, but of the value of transparency and third-party verification. I’ve seen too many projects that say that they’re designing to a specific standard – but without that verification, guess what's first to go is when VE hits? The challenge, and the biggest reason that teams design to, instead of certify with, these certifications, is that the documentation process is a royal pain in the ass. If you ask anyone, they’ll say, “I love LEED, but I hate LEED documentation.” I have never heard anyone say how excited they were to dive into LEED paperwork.

But after pounding my head against the wall too many times and seeing 100 column spreadsheets in my sleep, I knew there had to be a better way, and thus Green Badger was born.

This is why Green Badger exists. When I was consulting, my theory was to make it as painless as possible – let’s make a building as green as we can, and I’ll work to eliminate the headache that comes along with the actual certification process. But after pounding my head against the wall too many times and seeing 100 column spreadsheets in my sleep, I knew there had to be a better way, and thus Green Badger was born. We exist to integrate our motto ‘Sustainability Simplified’ into everyday practice. We need more green buildings – we don’t need more paperwork headaches.

THE JOURNEY AHEAD

To date, our focus has been on helping project teams eliminate the pain of LEED construction. Our focus is expanding – there are now more third-party certifications being thrown at project teams than there are fingers on both hands. From national programs such as WELL, FitWell and Living Building Challenge to regional programs like CalGreen, the popularity of these certifications (and overlap) is ever growing, and we’ll be ready to meet those project team needs head on. We’ll continue to build a platform that allows teams to get green projects built on time and on budget, not on chasing documentation. And we’ll be launching new platforms to help integrate sustainability into all construction projects – because until sustainability is easy to implement and measure, it will be the exception, not the norm.
