A great way to build your LEED professional reputation AND earn LEED GBCI CE credits, is to write an article or book. To earn CE hours, published articles and books must pertain to a CE category that is relevant to your specialty. You can get LEED-specific credit as long as the article or book focuses heavily on LEED. The only catch is that the article must be published during your reporting period. Some great ways to get your articles published is to become an author on eZineArticles.com or other article websites or to check with industry magazines to see if they accept LEED article submissions. For writing about LEED, you can earn 3CE hours per published article and ten CE hours per published book.

These are just some of the many ways to get your LEED CEs. With a little creativity, you may even find that completing your CEs is almost as rewarding as passing your LEED exam. All the best!!

In today’s economy, people consider themselves pretty lucky if they have a job that will pay them enough so they can make ends meet. You should know that the green economy is a real thing. There are new occupations dedicated to energy efficiency and environmental friendliness. These new jobs also offer much opportunity for high pay and big promotions. This is nowhere more true than in the building and design profession. If you want to get involved, you should consider becoming a LEED Green Associate.

The LEED Green Associate is the first level of LEED certification. LEED is a rating system that is used to determine how energy efficient a building is. This system is more than just a simple checklist. It is a whole new way of looking at buildings. LEED professionals will analyze heating and cooling systems, hot water distribution, insulation, storm water mitigation, and even access to public transportation. This is serious work that allows raters to change buildings for the best.

One of the great things about becoming a LEED training is that you will find a whole new world of opportunity. Clients and employers in the design field want LEED professionals on their team. It will prove to employers that you are the kind of worker they want on their team.
