This has been our experience as of yet: We received a call from a potential client some months ago stating he had a LEED silver project for us, but he asked if we had LEED accreditation. We had to tell him no, and we didn't get the project. So, I have just received accreditation for LEED Green Associate. We have plenty of engineering experince in-house, but without the hands-on experience of an actual LEED project. We therefore are waiting for another call to come in from an Architect or someone similar to get in on a LEED project.
