Are you curious about or confused by the recent changes made to the LEED professional credentialing program? This month’s Green Eggs will provide a complete overview of the new multi-faceted credentialing system developed and administered by the Green Building Certification Institute (GBCI).  The goal of the new system is to ensure that LEED professionals have the latest knowledge and understanding of green building practices and that they are recognized for distinction.  We will address the tiered credentials (Green Associate, LEED AP+, LEED Fellow), eligibility requirements, examination structure, and fees.  We will also provide details regarding the new credentialing maintenance program which includes requirements for continuing education (CE) hours.
