U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) has been accepted by the Green Building Certification Institute (GBCI) as the first Education Reviewing Body (ERB). With ERB status, USGBC is now authorized to review and approve continuing education offerings under the LEED Professional Credentialing Maintenance Program. ERBs must meet organizational and technical criteria established by demonstrating capacity, subject matter expertise and compliance with best practices.
“GBCI’s commitment to providing a suite of LEED professional credentials that keep pace with the demands and the evolution of the marketplace is dependent on a credential maintenance program that sets the bar for cutting-edge, innovative and diverse education,” said Peter Templeton, President of GBCI.
