LEED AP Study Group NV Las Vegas LEED Study Group Update and Assignment

[David F. Schmidt]

Hi all you LEED GAs, LEED APs and LEED GA and AP Wannabees,

We met again for the LEED Study Group on Wednesday, May 19th at 5:30
PM 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 have begun 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. We will be meeting
again on Wednesday of next week at the same time and location.

At this study group meeting, we reviewed the first 50 pages in the
LEED for Homes Reference Guide.

The assignment for the next meeting will be to read pages 51 through
112 in the LEED for Homes Reference Guide for continued discussion at
the meeting. See Item Number 3) below.
