Holley Henderson, LEED Fellow + Fitwel Ambassador + WELL AP Author / Speaker / Consultant + Founder of H2 Ecodesign Holley is known as the Common Sense Environmentalist making sustainable choices make sense for your business.

H2 Ecodesign grew out of Holley Henderson's passion for the sustainable consulting field. Prior to founding H2 Ecodesign, Holley was with tvsdesign for ten years and later served as Director of Creative Design for a major carpet manufacturer. Her work in these places provided her with a unique perspective into the needs of owners, manufacturers, and design firms related to sustainability. Holley, LEED Fellow, has led several “firsts,” including the first LEED-CI project in the US (Platinum Level) and China (Gold Level), as well as, the first LEED project in Thailand. Most recently, H2 Ecodesign completed an over two-million-square-foot LEED-CS (Platinum Level) project for the largest energy provider in Thailand. Beyond buildings, H2 Ecodesign collaborates with a myriad of product manufacturers including faucets, carpet fiber and resilient flooring facilitating their green path including external and internal communication, as well as, training. For over a decade, Holley has served the National U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) by chairing the Market Advisory Committee and LEED-CI Core Committee. Subsequently, she participated in the numerous leadership committees for the National USGBC such as LEED Steering, Greenbuild Special Programs, Educational Development and the International Forum. She is charter faculty for the National USGBC LEED Workshops and one of their key “go-to” subject matter experts for developing curricula. With Holley’s commonsense approach, the USGBC reached out to her to be the first to teach the LEED v4 workshop at Greenbuild. Currently, she serves on the Board of the International Facility Manager Association (IFMA) Sustainability Community (ISC). With a greater emphasis on human health and wellness in the built environment, Holley is both a Fitwel Ambassador, as well as, a WELL Accredited Professional. Recently, she has consulted for Chemical Insights Research Institute (CIRI) of UL Research Institutes as their Director of Partnerships and Education. During her tenure with CIRI, Holley focused on ‘storytelling the science’ through strategic education and collaborations. A standout achievement was the ‘Clear the Air’ public campaign, developed with over 12 amplification partners, including AIA, ASID, APHA, FEMA, NASN, PEHSU and USGBC. This initiative has the potential to reach more than 400,000 individuals—roughly equivalent to the population of Atlanta—spreading awareness about wildfire health risks to public health professionals, building practitioners, and the communities they serve. Key organizations such as IWBI WELL (Materials), Wells Fargo, SCAD and Contract Magazine have engaged Holley for their respective External Advisory Boards.
