LEED EB Study Sessions
DATE CHANGE - Sessions moved to Fall 2008
The Study Session dates are being rescheduled to accommodate a
delay in the
publication of the new version of the LEED-EB Reference Guide.

Study Sessions will use the new guide rather than the old one as
the basis for the training and practice. We apologize for any
inconvenience.
The new dates for the study sessions will likely begin next
October and wrap up in November. We will maintain your
registration paperwork unless you prefer to have the fee
refunded and to re-register yourself at a later date.Please
