Southern Energy Management Expands Multifamily Certification Services

October, 2025

Southern Energy Management (SEM) has been named one of Viridiant’s trusted partners to continue delivering EarthCraft and green building certification services for multifamily projects across the region.

As Viridiant refocuses its work toward consulting, policy, and training, SEM will take the lead on many of their existing and upcoming multifamily certification projects — ensuring that builders and developers experience a smooth transition and reliable technical support moving forward.

A Focus on Continuity and Quality

Our Multifamily Energy Services (MES) team has supported high-performance building programs across the Southeast for years, including EarthCraft, ENERGY STAR, and NGBS certifications. We’re proud to bring that same hands-on expertise and responsiveness to projects transitioning from Viridiant’s portfolio.

With decades of field experience and a full in-house team of raters, modelers, and project managers, SEM is ready to support multifamily partners who rely on timely communication, clear guidance, and technical precision from start to finish.

Next Steps

If you’re currently working with Viridiant or have an upcoming project that may be affected by their transition, our team is available to answer questions and help ensure a smooth path forward.
