Anyone know anything about LEED AP Certifications?


Recommended Posts

For a project in Grad School I recently worked on an independent study as a consultant on a LEED construction project to help certify a building. Because I worked on that project I can now register for the LEED AP exam. I'm trying to figure out which is the best one to register for. My friends have all done the BD+C and say that is the best one, but I'm a bit skeptical and might sign up for the Operations and Maintenance one

 

Here are the two descriptions per the USGBC

LEED AP Building Design + Construction (LEED AP BD+C)

Suits professionals with expertise in the design and construction phases of green buildings, serving the commercial, residential, education and healthcare sectors.

 

LEED AP Operations + Maintenance (LEED AP O+M)

Distinguishes professionals implementing sustainable practices, improving performance, heightening eciency and reducing environmental impact in existing buildings through enhanced operations and maintenance.

Thoughts? Input? Funny pictures?

Can you take both? Any reason not to take both?

 

I'll check with my county and state SWD dudes Friday. I need to sign up for the drill, anyway.

I can take both but each test is 250 bucks so its not cheap for a guy debating ramen flavors most nights.

 

Let me know what you hear. I'm looking to sign up this weekend
