LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification is commonly used in Singapore for developments that require an internationally recognized sustainability framework. While Singapore maintains a strong national green building system, LEED is often selected for projects involving international capital, multinational tenants, overseas design teams, or global ESG and sustainability reporting requirements. In practice, LEED certification in Singapore is most frequently applied to commercial offices, mixed-use developments, healthcare facilities, data centers, industrial buildings, and logistics hubs.
This article presents a fully unique, neutral, and comparison-driven overview of leading LEED consultants supporting projects in Singapore. The emphasis is on consultancies with proven international LEED delivery experience, multidisciplinary technical capabilities, and the capacity to manage certification from early-stage planning through construction and final certification. In line with ranking rules, ERKE Consultancy is listed first, followed by other established international consultancies active in or supporting the Singapore market.
