Beyond Being a LEED Green Associate

leed_feature

People who are involved in the business of building are often interested in green building practices. They typically will get LEED training so that they can become a LEED Green Associate. Once they accomplish this goal, they often begin to wonder if they should be doing anything else. The answer is definitely yes.

You can never know enough about green building practices. Even if you achieve the rank of Green Building Associate, there will always be new advances in green technology that you will want to learn. That’s why many of the schools that offer LEED training are now also offering advanced green building courses for people who are already leed certified but who don’t want to stop learning.

The courses that people take after they have already become Green Building Associates are typically very specific classes in niche topics of green building. For example, someone might sign up for a two-day intensive workshop in improving indoor air quality in buildings. Or they may take a class in water conservation for builders. These are things that may get touched upon in the basic LEED training course but will be explored in much greater depth in subsequent classes. By taking such classes, green builders keep themselves on top of the latest green building news and ahead of the competition in the green building industry.
