Just got an e-mail regarding GBCI Credentialing Maintenance Program for those of us that have been accredited without specialization under the old system. Was wondering if anyone has dug deeper into what this really means for us and if upgrading to a specialization will pay off in the end?

Just slid into this group. Many of the Washington State funded building design projects require a LEED certification. I’ve been involved in the number of LEED workshops on projects for community colleges in the state. I am not up to speed on the newer landscape/site related LEED certification. I know from past projects, the landscape/site related…[Read more]

Hope everyone is having a wonderful summer. I wanted to find out if anyone in the group is heading to Chicago this year for the Annual Meeting. Email me at alofton@uga.edu if your planning to attend. Tx!

Any luck on venue yet?

That’s encouraging to hear you bring an ‘added value’ to your office and that you’re getting LEED projects (and platinum at that).Good for you!

I cannot speak to PTLexamprep, but I can say that greenexamprep is fairly accurate when they claim that if you can score over 80% on their tests then you are probably pretty well prepared for the actual exam. Hang in there.

Really! Thats cool jobs here though are scarce in our industry but should pick up hopefully by the time “I” graduate lol. But its a cool city I love it here!

it better be!!! i want to move to vegas and work there!!!

Thats exactly what we are doing on the first day there are going to be varios sessions around las vegas so instead of being stuck in a classroom all day you are going to get the chance to see that Vegas you don’t know and at night you’ll see the Vegas that you hear about. I am so excited about this…spread the word this is going to be the best labash ever

What i really liked about the louisiana’s labash is how they showed us around the city. i know that las vegas is going to be nuts! but the first thing i thought about when i heard that las vegas was going to be hosting the LaBash was how can they make it the best thing ever without being a cliche? i loved how everyone was together at least twice a…[Read more]

Yeah, you’re probably just over thinking it a little. I used the chart in the LEED AP Walkthrough, which is probably the same as the one on IntheLeed.com. I will say that there weren’t that many questions that related directly to project roles in the particular question pool that I had when I sat for the test (maybe 5), what I can say is that…[Read more]

Anyone still studying to pass under LEED 2.2:
There are 2 resources that I used to study that I think were critical to success, I think these have been mentioned before but If you’re on the fence about what resources to spend your money on here’s what I think are the two best values:

I have to throw my support behind Intheleed.com’s LEED AP…[Read more]

Hey Jason, looks like the department has decided to ask you to lecture this coming Fall. I know it seems like it has taken forever, and I apologize but we have been very busy restructuring our program and interviewing potential department heads. The good news is that they still want you to come and lecture and the program is doing great. I also…[Read more]

Thanks Jason. Will have to get hold of his new book as well.

Has anyone used epiphytes on green walls, and if so what success rate did you have. How did you attach them to the walls, simply on a wire trellis structure or did you use something more intricate – any info would be great!
