It’s great for marketing purposes, for both the company you work for (LEED Credential Employees on Staff), and for yourself for your resume. it shows that you’re taking initiative in the green building movement and LEED, which is what a lot of employers are looking for. Lastly, it may be able to get you into some LEED projects as a helper, assistant or volunteer if you want to try and get experience for a LEED registered project to qualify for the AP exam.

If you just have the Green Associate certification, is it good for anything other than as a part of the AP cert?

Hi Tom,
I have Leed NC, I would like to get the Leed AP for Homes because I mainly do residential work. I guess I need to familiarize myself with
BD & C. Thanks very much for your reply, If you
have anymore information, I would greatly appreciate it.

By: Tom L

Tom L — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 12:40:20 +0000

What is your current certification?

According to the webcast I posted above, Beth Holst said that if you have LEED AP in NC it translates to BD & C and if it is in CI then it is ID&C.

If you do have one of those, but don’t want it to directly translate you can call the GBCI and bridge over to the specialty that you have experience in.

By: DWells

DWells — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 12:06:45 +0000

I’m still confused. As a legacy AP, are you required to take an exam to become a leed AP for Homes. I’m getting conflicting answers. Also, what is the process to opt in to V3. How do you get started. Thanks

The first webcast answers a lot of the questions. You can go to around minute 25 for the Q&A session.
“From the Green Building Certification Institute’s Vice President of Credentialing Beth Holst, learn about GBCI’s upgrades to the LEED Accredited Professional credential, including the addition of specializations, as well as the new LEED Green Associate” credential.
Includes recorded Q&A session with USGBC members.

The vegetative roof might cut down on cooling loads which would lead the mechanical engineers to be involved. Mechanical engineers are NOT structural engineers.

I just wanted to thank you as well Pat. I passed on Monday on my first try with a 174 and a bare minimum of studying. Without some of the info on this site I would’ve failed for sure! Thanks again for all your hard work!

I would like to thank you Pat and all of the people that took time to post comments on this website. I just passed yesterday with a 184 on my 1st try and I could not have done it without Pat’s study guide and some of the comments from all of you. This website is a tremendous resource and would like to thank all of you!

Hi Irini, A) because there the storm water calculations would be affected by a vegetated roof. B) because therecould be structural inplications because of the roof.

I got this question on my test.

For a vegetated roof who gets impacted?(Choose 2)
A)The Civil engineer
B)The mechanical engineer
C)the electrical engineer
D)the comissioning agent
I answered A and B but I was wondering what you guys think.

Hello All,
Well I passed the exam on the last day with a 188. Thankfully thats over with. I would like to thank everyone on this website, you’ve helped me tremendously. My question is based on the new credentially system. I would like to become a leed ap + homes. Am I understanding
things correctly in that I must have experience
in a leed project to even qualify to take the exam? I sure hope this is not the case.

Thank you so much for this site! I passed with a 179 today with all the help and useful tips on this site, the USGBC ref guide, Colorado study guide, leedvisual.com and a lot of support from my hubby who took care of our toddler so I could study as much as i can in the last month!!
phew…it does feel like I got on an almost leaving bus!!!
