Becoming LEED accredited in San Francisco
June 17th, 2009 by bestCs
Recently a good friend of mine, and fellow contractor decided he was going to take his business and career by the horns and become leed accredited. He has felt for a long time that becoming a more environmentally conscious builder was something that was appealing so he began the process of looking into what the accreditation might require.
His biggest concerns had to do with whether or not he could afford the courses and to take the examinations. Next he was hoping that he would have the spare time to devote to effective study. He definitely did not want to simply pay some money and get a certificate.
Instead, he looked into the Everblue Training Institute. He overheard some one at a recent contractors day convention talking about them and all they offer. And since we are just a couple of hours north of San Francisco, he figured it might be an easy enough commitment to heading down to The City a couple of times a week. In fact, if I remember correctly, he had a close cousin living in the Bay Area so he could stay there if necessary.
All that is left now is to sign up and start studying. I must admit, in fact, that I’m a bit jealous and may have to ride down and take classes with him.
