Michael A. Lo Presti - Certified Sustainable Design Professional Certification


Dulles, Virginia –Presti & Company, Inc. a Dulles, VA based Professional Design Engineering firm, announces that Michael A. Lo Presti, PE the firm’s President and Principal Engineer, has obtained the Certified Sustainable Development Professional (CSDP) accreditation. Mr. Lo Presti is one of only fifteen engineering professionals within the Mid-Atlantic region who have achieved the newly designated status of Certified Sustainable Development Professional from the Association of Energy Engineers (AEE).

The Certified Sustainable Development Professional (CSDP) designation is designed to provide recognition for professionals who have distinguished themselves as leaders in the sustainable development field. The designation CSDP identifies individuals who have demonstrated high levels of technical expertise in energy management and environmental practices. The benefit of having a CSDP Professional involved in engineering projects ensures the technical expertise necessary to make proper design tradeoffs in favor of Sustainable Concepts and long term lifecycle project costs. Sustainability is of great importance to building owners because it often translates into reduced facility operating costs by implementing energy conservation/cost reduction techniques without loss in building performance.

The CSDP program objectives are to raise the professional standards of those engaged in sustainable development; to improve the practice of sustainable development for buildings, industrial plants and governmental facilities; to identify persons with acceptable knowledge of the principles and laws governing the practices of energy efficiency and pollution prevention related disciplines; and to award special recognition to those individuals who have demonstrated a high level of technical expertise in energy management and environmental practices.

Presti & Company, Inc., with offices in Dulles, VA and Washington, DC is a full service Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) and related building systems, consulting engineering firm who provides facilities design and construction engineering services to architects, building owners, contractors, and local, state, and federal governments.
