Bio
Bill Randall
I have had the opportunity to work with Eli in various capacities over several years. His passion for sustainability, knowledge of systems and his willingness to stay current on the most recent developments related to energy, solar, sustainability set him apart from most others in this field. Eli has been very helpful to my firm (and myself personally) as our local LEED contact for accountability and review through his connection with Earth Advantage. His understanding of the concepts and bases behind some of the requirements and his ability to explain those in a clear way has been extremely helpful as we have pursued sustainable project certifications. He also is meticulous in his attention to detail and navigating the more complex forms and accountability related to LEED Certification specifically. I can highly recommend Eli for virtually any position involving sustainability, detail and documentation.
