The GBCI website shows fees for registration as $900 for USGBC members and $1200 for non-members. Your website show$450 and $90o. Are you in the process of updating? Hi Pat,

I am NOT a good test taker. Passed with a 196 with the help of this site. The "lightning round" was key to really nailing the LEED Process stuff. I found all manner of conflicting information even on the USGBC Website regarding certification and CIR's etc. The info posted above covered at least 5 questions asked. The only thing I would add to above is USGBC Membership affects the reg. cert. fee structure. If I did not know that, I would have missed one. Guys,
