LEED Green Associates

Social responsibility.

As long as it is the choice of the building owner. Great.

If it's the heavy hand of government doing the mandating then we are no longer free.

Man was this test hard to take.

Thanks

Although I am new to the home inspection industry I have been a Certified LEED AP for Commercial Interiors for the past 2 years. Due to the economic meltdown I have only been involved in one LEED project, few people are not seeing the benefit here in Canada. I would appreciate any opinions on where interNACHI members see this going.
I am also a certified energy advisor in Canada, has anyone heard anything about what is happening to the enerGuide program.

Hi,

So my question is what can you do with Leed AP certification?

Thanks,

Tim

What have you done with your LEED accreditation?

[Marcel R. Cyr]

My LEED Green Asociate is only good when the company is Bidding a new Project that is being built green. Helps the company get work at colleges which are green build most of the time.

Right now nothing is going on.

I got my LEED AP almost two years ago. It was a tough test. I am also finding it hard to get work from it. How are you doing?

[Marcel R. Cyr]

Helped out my employer more than it helped me in most cases.
Although a couple of jobs I applied for requested AP which I am not. Just an Associate.
Hard test indeed.

I got the A.P. awhile back and quite honestly, hasn't brought in any more work. I do appreciate the knowledge that went along with those grueling hours Marcel alluded to though. Knowledge is definitely a good thing. I'm sure one day it will come in handy.
