LEED Platinum Retail Delivery
Moncler’s flagship at the Royal Hawaiian Center set an ambitious sustainability target: LEED Platinum. Native Technologies was engaged through Kenwood Construction to manage the certification process, while Notkin Hawaii served as project architect. Our role was to translate sustainability goals into clear, verifiable deliverables that fit a fast-track retail build-out and a luxury brand environment.
We began by establishing the LEED scorecard and submittal matrix, confirming credit pathways with the design team, and integrating certification checkpoints into procurement and schedules. During construction, we organized and reviewed low-VOC and recycled-content submittals, tracked construction waste diversion, coordinated indoor air-quality management (including flush-out/testing), and assembled commissioning documentation to satisfy fundamental and enhanced commissioning requirements. Throughout, we maintained rigorous documentation control so compliance never became a bottleneck at closeout.
Working closely with Kenwood Construction, Notkin Hawaii, and the broader project team, we aligned certification activities with design intent, contractor workflows, and brand standards. The store achieved LEED Platinum, demonstrating that high-performance building practices and luxury retail can move in lockstep when certification strategy, documentation, and field execution are managed as one integrated process.
