about marija
Twenty years of putting the engineering before the certificate
Marija became a LEED AP in 2008, among the first in Europe, and her first LEED project was the Vodafone headquarters in Milan: 120,000 square metres, certified Gold. In 2014 she led the certification of Ušće Shopping Center in Belgrade, the first LEED for Existing Buildings certification in the region, and has recertified it since. In 2017 she was named a LEED Fellow, again among the first in Europe.
As Managing Partner she leads Energo's certification work across Serbia, Italy and Switzerland. Her practice is to set the credit targets at the brief stage and keep them in the engineering as the design develops, so the submission documents what the building does rather than what was added to it afterwards.
She has taught LEED as USGBC Faculty since 2011 and leads Energo Academy, where several hundred professionals have prepared for their LEED credentials.
