Understand how the project certification and professional accreditation requirements have changed with the release of LEED v3 and what that means for the working professional.

LEED V3  - If you’re planning a LEED for New Construction project, this session will provide relevant background on the big-picture impacts, as well as information useful on a day-to-day basis such as costs and communication. The presentation includes the framework of the new system, changes to procedures, USGBC and GBCI reorganization, project timeline impacts, and project examples.

Credentials - As a current or potential LEED AP you now have some choices to make and different paths that you can take. This session will discuss the choices available to those involved from design to construction and will help navigate you through the new LEED requirements. We will review the USGBC and Green Building Certification Institute (GBCI) changes and breakdown the complexity of continuing education (CE) hours.  In addition we will discuss what it means to be a LEED AP and how to maintain that credential as well as add additional specializations.
