Turn your passion for the environment into a green career.

We've partnered with Clean Edison (BPI Affiliate and USGBC [U.S. Green Building Council] Member) to bring LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) and BPI (Building Performance Institute) Certification Programs to you.  For information about Financial Assistance and Discounts click here.

Our homes produce nearly 20% of the nation’s carbon footprint. The ability to make homes more energy efficient represents a potential one-third reduction in energy usage and a corresponding reduction of over 262 million metric tons of greenhouse gases while creating 220,000 jobs. To accomplish this task, energy audit training programs are being rapidly established to provide professionals and college graduates with the skills to analyze structures for weatherization and efficiency improvements. Applying these green building and renovation techniques will position candidates to enter the emerging $60 billion green construction market.

The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program has become the benchmark for green design. Obtaining LEED certification enables individuals to perform energy audits in new designs and current structures. In the very near future, most design and construction work will require LEED certification -- and the sooner one receives the training, the better they will be positioned to take advantage.
