I am just wonder how environmental engineer join in LEED project. I am applying for evironmental engineering program now and would like to know their possibility. My university more likely concentrate on water.

please give me any opinion.
 
Civil Company over here. We got on our first LEED project through a referral from a friend's surveying company. We got our 2nd LEED project after that same developer liked us and is using us again. Is what you mean?

From what I thought before and learned during a green charette meeting, the Mechanical Engineer and Architect have the most responsibility for LEED. I don't think there is too much an Enviromental Engr has a say regarding LEED or at least there are not many points to be gained.

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.
