Congrats on passing the LEED exam. I have mine scheduled for Jan. 5th. A little nervous but hopefully will end up with the same results.

I took it last month and I would say no. As I recall most of the questions are worded something like
"In SS Credit 5.1: Site Development: Protect or Restore Habitat, how many points can you achieve for blah blah blah?"
But make sure you know all the exemplary performance percentages.

I took and passed it last month as well. That question is almost 2 months old. But thanks for the reply regardless.

Oops I didn't look at the date. Rookie mistake. Congrats on passing. I have a feeling this LEED thing will become more and more important in the future.

Thanks for answering it - I was wondering on that - I am scheduled to take it Jan 20th.
I agree LEED will become more important.. and honestly glad they are adding a continuing education requirement to the program - surprised it took this long.

Whoa, they are adding continuing ed to LEED? Where does it say this? Can you post a link to USGBC.

Here you go... just another way to make money. What still confuses me is that if you opt in as a current LEED AP, do you have to take a specialty module exam or do you end up as a LEED Green Associate instead of a LEED AP+?

Oh great, I'm a Legacy, just like Flounder in Animal House.
My company is all about me keeping current with LEED. I guess I'll have to take the extra tests.
I scored in the 190s on the exam, how exactly does that make me unqualified to continue on as a AP without more silly tests? I memorized all the crap once, I guess I can do it again.

Not sure... further down it says you need to opt in, agree to the disciplinary thing, and do the credential maintenance... it leaves it a little open whether or not we need to take an additional test (module).
Just another way for them to make more money off of us.

It looks like if you opt-in, sign the disciplinary policy, and agree to take continuing education, then you instantly become a LEED AP+....i.e. no more exams.

Personally, I don't plan on taking any additional modules of LEED. It would be nice however if they had also had some basic idea of what will qualify as continuing education (AIA, etc.) so that we could start to figure out how we are going to accomplish that.
I did get a flyer in the mail that had a LEED homes seminar that was 6 pdh's for various uses, I will try to remember to bring it in and post the link in the hope that this outfit will offer more potentially LEED approved CEU classes.

If that's the case, fine. I really don't want to take more exams. I'm a site work guy, the amount of LEEd stuff on any project I'd be involved with is limited as compared to the architect or M/E/P.

Actually, between construction air quality, recycled content segregation, and site work issues, you have more responsibility for LEED than an electrical guy.

The issue of construction waste recycling and use of recycled building materials falls more on the architect to specify it and the contractor/CM to divert the wastes and log it.
The construction air quality is site work as far as an erosion control plan goes. But the IAQ stuff depends more on the HVAC system and the specs for carpets, paints, selants, etc.
