LEED AP renew

[freei]

Dear fellow members. 

I am a PE and LEED Ap. Now it is the time that I need to renew my LEED Ap. I don't want to lose it, as I spent a lot of efforts to get it. 

I am trying to take the continue education, which requires 30, 6 credits LEED specific. I am thinking to use the free classes on Trane, as my current employer is not paying for it. 

Any thoughts and comments? What is your renew experiences. Thank you.

Ummm...go for it?

There are a lot of free courses on the USGBC website as well.

Are you a legacy LEED AP?  I didn't bother upgrading to a specialty version since I don't have a need for it in my field.

If you're not a legacy AP, then I would go for it.

If you work on LEED projects look into the options for counting time spent on projects as it can be used for some of the CE requirements. I believe it goes one CE hour per credit on the project.

I have found a way to use the free courses through Trane, and others listed in USGBC website for a few renewal cycles so far.  I sometimes have to pay for the LEED specific ones though.
