What Triple Green Building Group does

Triple Green Building Group is a privately held, full-service green building consulting firm founded in 2008 by Vessela Valtcheva-McGee and Kelly Gearhart, headquartered in Sofia, Bulgaria with regional offices in El Sobrante, California and Savannah, Georgia. The firm provides sustainability consulting and certification services to property developers, building owners, architects, investors, construction companies, and corporate tenants across Europe, North America, Asia, and the Middle East, with a portfolio of more than 100 certified projects across LEED, BREEAM, EDGE, DGNB, and WELL rating systems. Service offerings span Green Building Certification, Consulting (feasibility and gap analysis), Energy Management (commissioning and energy modeling), Net-Zero Carbon (carbon benchmarking and pathway analysis), ESG reporting, Green Design, and USGBC-approved Education delivered through university partners including UC Berkeley Extension, Harvard University, and the American University in Bulgaria.

The firm's competitive position rests on rare human credentials: both founders hold LEED Fellow designations (the highest GBCI credential), and the team includes LEED Accredited Professionals, BREEAM Assessors, DGNB Auditors, EDGE Experts and Auditors, Professional Engineers, Commissioning Authorities, Energy Modelling experts, BIM specialists, LCA experts, and Registered Architects. Underlying technology is centered on integrated digital tools — BIM, Life Cycle Assessment, energy modelling, EPDs, and carbon footprint benchmarking — layered on top of deep rating-system expertise. The firm certified the first LEED Platinum building in Bulgaria (Expo 2000 Phase IV, 91 points) and was recognized by the International Finance Corporation (World Bank Group) as an EDGE Preferred Service Provider for 2025-2026.

The business model is professional services: project-based, multi-year consulting engagements priced per scope, complexity, certification system, and geography, with no publicly disclosed rate cards. GTM is enterprise field sales through direct outreach, competitive proposals, conference participation, and the founders' industry advocacy roles (President of the Bulgarian Green Building Council, USGBC Atlanta/Southeast/California board positions). Notable enterprise clients include Schneider Electric, Mastercard, IKEA, Intuitive Surgical, Sberbank, United Technologies, California Academy of Sciences, Interpred/STC Sofia, GTC, EnduroSat, and Delta Galil Industries. The firm is privately held with no disclosed funding, parent company, or revenue.
