   Dear Pat, You are doing a great job for aspirants in LEED. Your website was one of the major resource on which i have spend most of the time before exam and i have scored 191.I have also recomended your website in areforum. You are my inspiration, i m planing to do a similar work but particularly in Energy Simulation,commissioning, Sustainalbe operations and maitanance etc. I ld like to ask how easy is it for a non IT professional to manage such websites? Did you get it done from IT professionals? Great Work.Looking forward for your reply. Thanks

   What happens to the old LEED AP credential? It would be nice if, for example, the marketing people with a LEED AP under the old system could trade it in for a Green Associate title without having to take the test again. I don’t actually work on LEED projects, so I won’t ever be eligible for a LEED AP+ specialty exam. What is a regular old LEED AP worth these days?

   Hi Pat,
   I cleared the LEED GA exam with a score of 182. Your study guides – especially the Fill in the blanks one is a great idea.
   I noticed that the audio does not exactly follow the written content but is consistent within itself. Noticed a few typos in the guide as well but nothing major.
   Keep up the good work and will be ordering your BD+C guide soon..
   Cheers

     Apoorva,

     Thanks so much for your message, and I’m really glad the guides have helped you. I get a few emails each day thanking me for my work, but since other people can read this on the website, I just wanted to thank you for that 🙂

     I’m always looking to improve my products, so if you wouldn’t mind shooting me an email with the typos, I’d really appreciate it. I want the guides to be the best they can be.

     Thanks again!

     Hi Brandy,

     There are several courses available that you could take. Many are offered on the USGBC website here:

     Additionally, you may want to take a look through the FAQ section of this site to understand the requirements and different exams available. That would be where I would start.

     All the best to you!
