Alexandre Bouchard, a partner and principal of the Saguenay office with Martin Roy et Associés, has been named to the 2024 cohort of LEED Fellows. The designation is the highest recognition achievable through the LEED program for professional accomplishments in the green building industry, and is awarded only to certified LEED professionals of at least 10 years’ standing who are identified through a rigorous nomination and review process.

This year’s 14 new LEED Fellows increase the worldwide tally to 300, and Bouchard is just the 13th Canadian to receive the designation. He is a LEED BD+C (building design and construction) accredited professional who serves as president of the Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean chapter of the Canada Green Building Council (CAGBC) and is a former member of the Québec CAGBC board of directors.

Bouchard leads design and a team of sustainability professionals at Martin Roy et Associés, is an accredited designer of the Canadian GeoExchange Coalition and a sustainable building instructor for various organizations. He graduated from l’École Polytechnique de Montréal with a Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering in 2008, and obtained a postgraduate certificate in building engineering from Concordia University in 2010.

New LEED Fellows for 2024 will be formerly recognized in November at the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) annual conference in Philadelphia.

“LEED Fellows represent the most dedicated and accomplished green building professionals in our industry,” says Peter Templeton, president and chief executive of USGBC and Green Business Certification Inc. (GBCI). “This year’s distinguished LEED Fellows serve as models of green building leadership, catalyzing transformative change in communities worldwide.”
