Delaware North Companies hires Doo Consulting for green energy projects

One of the largest food service and hospitality companies in the world, Delaware North, has hired Doo Consulting LLC to work on a number of green building and sustainable energy projects.

The Bethesda-based Doo specializes in Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) and will work with Delaware North on its LEED certifications by the U.S. Green Energy Council.

Delaware North facilities are undergoing annual audits to maintain registration with the International Organization for Standardization for meeting clean energy standards.

Project manager for Delaware North, Wes Schmidt, said the company relies heavily on LEED standards during construction and maintenance of its buildings.

“Doo Consulting has developed a strong portfolio of relevant experience in sustainability. Their qualifications were an ideal fit for our request for proposal,” Wes Schmidt added. “This new relationship between our companies will lead to innovations and new standards in the level of sustainability at Delaware North venues.”

Doo was named the 2009 Innovator of the Year by the Maryland Daily for its use of sustainable products and design.

Delaware North provides food service and management to hotels, retail, airports and sports facilities in North America, Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.
