New USGBC Nevada Chaper LEED Study Group Meeting Scheduled
David F. Schmidt
We will be beginning a new USGBC Nevada Chapter LEED Study Group on
Wednesday, March 24th at 5:30 PM. We will be meeting at Stephanos,
located at 4632 South Maryland, in the shopping center across from the
UNLV Student Union Building. Please note that this study group is free
of cost other than purchase of your own study materials. We will be
beginning with studies necessary to become a LEED Green Associate. The
plan is to then continue with studies necessary to become a LEED
Accredited Professional on LEED for Homes. Please note that several
hours of self study (such as participation in this study group) can
count toward your Credential Maintenance requirements if you are
already a Legacy LEED AP. If you know anyone that is interested in
participating in a LEED Study Group, please forward this e-mail to
them accordingly.
The assignment for the first meeting will be to read the LEED Green
Associate Candidate Handbook for continued discussion at the meeting.
