LEED Study Group on Existing Building Operations and Maintenance--Update
David F. Schmidt
We had our last scheduled LEED EBOM study group meeting on Wednesday,
February 10th at 5:30 PM until 7:00 PM. We met at Atlanta Bread,
located next to Pet Smart at the Southeast corner of Hualapai and West
Charleston. We viewed an applicable PTL LEED O & M Video and reviewed
Innovation in Operations through the end of the book, pages 465
through 512 of the Green Building Operations and Maintenance Reference
Guide by the USGBC. We will be not be meeting again until we organize
a new LEED study group that will focus next on the Green Associate
Exam and the LEED AP Exam for Residential Construction. Please let me
know if you are interested in participating in this new study group
which is beginning to organize.
You may also want to purchase the following supplemental study
materials for use in the study group; particularly if you are
considering taking the EBOM LEED AP exam: http://www.ptlexamprep.com/examprep_gbom.php
You can obtain a 40% discount for the above study materials if you
phone call to make your order and you note that you are a part of the
Las Vegas LEED Study Group that I am facilitating. (Costs: On-Line
access only for complete PTL Study Bundle @ $59.99; and On-line access
plus hard copy for complete PTL Study Bundle @ $127.49)
You can also obtain the same 40% discount for any of the PTL Exam
Study LEED Green Associate materials or study bundles if you phone
call to place your order and you note that you are a part of the Las
Vegas LEED Study Groups that I am facilitating. Another excellent
source of LEED Green Associate study materials is available at:
http://www.greenexamprep.com/ although no discount has been offered
from this 3rd party materials source to the Las Vegas LEED Study
Groups. The prerequisite LEED Green Associate Exam is the same for all
of the LEED AP Accreditation programs.
You should also visit the local USGBC Chapter website located at:

Going to the local monthly USGBC Nevada Chapter meetings at the
Springs Preserve can be very helpful toward gaining knowledge about
sustainable design and construction and O & M practices.
