LEED Green Associate

I signed up for my LEED Green Associate training today and hope to take the exam within 3 weeks.  This is the first step of several in the LEED Credentialling program. (LEED stands for "Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design" by the way.)  We've always tried to use sustainable building practices (renovating existing buildings rather than demolishing them, using bamboo instead of hardwood flooring, reusing material when possible, and donating useable products to friends or reStore are just a few examples) and to maximize the energy efficiency of our renovations.  With LEED Credentials we'll be able to participate in a rating system that demonstrates and documents our commitment to green building principles.
