Feeling a little green
February 26th, 2009 by Becars
I’m pretty bummed because I feel like I have stagnated at work. I need to start looking for other opportunities, and I need a leed certification. At least that’s what my coworkers have been saying. They’ve taken their leed test prep and will soon be in the process of receiving their leed accreditation. I’m starting to see them excel, they’re expanding their knowledge and abilities as LEED professionals. I’ve looked into taking some classes because I know I need to start thinking seriously about my career. Having this certification will help me to be a better employee, and better all around person.
It really wasn’t until recently that I found out about LEED, and I was instantly captivated by the fourteen thousand projects currently in the works that all comply with green building standards. As an architect, I need to be aware of these new improvements, and the new design requirements to construct energy efficient designs. I have a feeling that in the next ten or so years, it will be a priority or even a government requirement for buildings to be green. Speaking with my coworkers, I really think that the time is right; we don’t have any big projects in the work.
