LEED Certification
LEED Certification
(OP)
In this not so booming economy, there is still some hope for the construction industry. I am currently working on a project which will take me through the end of next year. I am the field office engineer on this project. My background is Civil Engg/Const. Management (I do not have any design background). I am looking to enhance my career and would like to know if I should get LEED certification. Can anyone give me advice on how it has helped them. Thanks.





RE: LEED Certification
I work on the design side and deal with Leed in a peripheral way. We have Leed specialist engineers for the hard stuff.
We can design the Leed but if the contractors and the construction people are not up to speed with it, you can lose a lot of points and not receive the level of certification that the building was designed to achieve.
Being knowledgeable on the construction side would help this immensely.

The bottom line is, you become more marketable as a person.
