LEED accredited professionals are now required to have continuing education as part of their accreditation.
I have attended the local Green Build conference to pick up credits. Each year the CNY Greenbuild is 2 days. I have attended one day each year. A day can be up to 7 general credits in seminars.
If you participate in a LEED Certified Project, you can add some points.
USGBC offers courses over the internet, both for free and with some cost. There is a quiz that you must pass. The credits available vary according to the program.
McGraw Hill offers a series of courses thru their continuing education program. There is a quiz for each program, generally an article from a trade magazine.
30 credits are required for the renewal every two years. 6 of these hours are prescriptive. Credits are submitted directly to GBCI (Green Building Certification Institute) on your own activity page. There are 7 categories that require credits. After you submit a credit for consideration, the credit will be reviewed and accepted or not. This process can take several days.
What would help me in the future, if more of the courses were applicable to my NYState PE recertification credits.
