He has been involved in sustainable design work since 1996 when he encouraged Cosentini to join the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), the organization that created and disseminated the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system. Some of his major projects include Four Times Square (the first “green” commercial high-rise office building in New York City); Battery Park City’s The Visionaire (the first residential high-rise in the country to receive LEEDTM Platinum certification); Skanska USA’s New York offices (a LEED Platinum Commercial Interiors project); Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (LEEDTM Silver); the Stephen M.

He has developed and supervises Cosentini’s advanced technology and analysis group, which is responsible for researching and implementing new technology and performing high-level computational analyses (CFD analysis, energy simulations, and 3D modeling). Mr. Ceasar is a LEED AP BD+C and oversees the LEED certification process, a service provided by Cosentini.
