Allen Hobbs, Esq.
Senior Vice President of IntelliGreen Partners, LLC, MFBA
Allen Hobbs, Senior Vice President and Counsel, has over 26 years of experience as a litigator in state and federal courts. He used his knowledge of the complex online information research necessary in electronic discovery to obtain two US patents which enhance online data mining by digitally embedding human search judgment in text, audio or video.
As an attorney, GPRO Certified and BPI Certified Multifamily Building Analyst (MFBA), Allen analyzes the results of existing green building information processes, and then develops databases to record data so that IGP has immediate actionable information. This ensures close management by IGP of the complex coordination of various municipal agencies with the utility or energy service company, design engineer, property manager and the client, and the rapid, timely and efficient accomplishment of Design/Build projects, LL97, LL84, LL87 and gas conversion projects.
As municipal ordinances and state statutes evolve to meet the demand of sustainable design and reduced energy use, he expanded his practice in IGP to review local ordinances and state standards, to ensure compliance by IGP’s clients with statutory or regulatory requirements, and to assist clients to take advantage of any potential financing or government and utility energy efficiency incentives.
