One of the most critical aspects of building product specification is education. Education = Specification. If a designer does not understand the benefits, applications, limitations, and costs associated with a building product, they will never specify it. Education is a key component to any successful marketing strategy by a building product manufacturer. |

How do you get LEED certified? You don’t! Buildings are LEED certified while people are accredited. Newcomers to the LEED rating system often confuse the two terms. The Green Business Certification Inc. (GBCI) is a third-party organization that provides independent oversight of LEED professional credentialing and LEED certification programs related to green building and health and wellness in the built environment. |
