9 THE STOK DIFFERENCE SYSTEMS THINKING Building Certifications provide a framework for improved health, performance and sustainability criteria. Recognized industry standards, Like LEED & WELL, give owners the ability to brand the sustainability achievements of their buildings which improve asset value, reduce operating cost and attract tenants. LEED LEED is the most widely used thirdparty verification for green buildings, with around 1.85 million square feet being certified daily. It is used to evaluate buildings on their holistic approach to sustainability, and can be used for new and existing commercial and residential buildings and be applied on the neighborhood scale. Having led over 50 million square feet of real estate and 150+ projects through all of LEED s rating systems, stok uses its industry-leading expertise to make the certification process as impactful and streamlined as possible. The stok Team: Holds design charrettes to help projects set progressive sustainability goals Guides project teams throughout the design, construction and operations of a building to achieve these goals Manages and documents all LEED credits, freeing up the design team to focus on designing the best building possible WELL WELL is a performance-based system for measuring, certifying, and monitoring features of the built environment that impact human health and well-being, through air, water, nourishment, light, fitness, comfort and mind. With a provisional WELL AP on staff, stok provides subject matter expertise early in the design process and ensures a seamless experience through the Performance Verification phase. The stok Team: Conducts a WELL feasibility study to identify gaps in the early design for achieving WELL certification Leads multiple team meetings throughout the project timeline to ensure effective team communication Keeps an updated WELL scorecard throughout the project timeline to ensure all requirements for targeted WELL certification level are being met Takes on all documentation responsibilities and any required action after Performance Verification Coordinates communication with Delos on any special circumstances or clarification items

10 THE STOK DIFFERENCE SYSTEMS THINKING LIVING BUILDING CHALLENGE The Living Building Challenge is the built environment s most rigorous performance standard.

The stok Team: Leads the material selection and specification process Consults and manages the highperformance design Delivers innovative solutions to the difficult-to-achieve imperatives Crafts and manages the documentation process Provides auditor services to ensure projects meet the LBC requirementscation items GREENPOINT RATED GreenPoint Rated (GPR) is a residential rating system geared towards owners and builders dedicated to ensuring that their development is designed and constructed to meet tangible environmental standards. Its areas of focus are energy, resource conservation, indoor air quality, water, and community benefits. With certified GreenPoint Raters, Architects, and Construction Managers on staff, stok provides a suite of services to drive financial and environmental value throughout design and construction.
