St. Louis-based Vertegy today announced that it has once again expanded its staff to keep pace with the growing demand for green and sustainable consulting services with the addition of Edward Unwin as project specialist. Unwin, who also recently passed his LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Associate exam, will assist Vertegy's clients in attaining LEED certification by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC).

Unwin joins Vertegy after spending 38 years as a project manager with Sterling Engineering & Surveying. There, he played instrumental roles in numerous multi-million dollar construction and development projects. In his new position as project specialist, Unwin will use his site development and construction background to assist him in providing hands-on support for the clients and project teams who are seeking the benefits of sustainable design and construction. With his newly achieved LEED Green Associate accreditation, Unwin has begun contributing on several of Vertegy's current projects.

Founded in February 2005, Vertegy provides clients with design, procurement and construction consulting services for green and sustainable facilities. One of the key ways Vertegy serves clients is by helping them gain certification for their projects from various nationally and internationally recognized certification bodies, such as the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), which provides LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) certification. Vertegy � which is derived from combining the Latin root for green and strategy � is based in St. Louis at the LEED Platinum Alberici headquarters.
