I'm not endorsing it in any way- just providing the link as a reference.

Comment by Nadine Bouler on May 1, 2009 at 8:20pm: Our firm is a member of USGBC's Long Island chapter in NY-- but we are in the midst of investigating LEED certification. My concern is that certification will be time consuming and bureaucratic-- another hoop to jump through. Our goal should be to encourage more energy efficient practices, not another layer of paperwork, no?

Comment by ny306 on March 14, 2009 at 10:53am: I have heard rather scary things about LEED 2009 - Continuing Ed, Expensive test, 4 hour exams ... and the list goes on.
2.2 comes to an end of March. Test takers out there should consider registering for their tests before March 31. Good Luck!
