LEED Accredited Architect in Northfield

June 5th, 2007 by Peter Schmelzer

My studies of sustainability in architecture are now reflected in a new credential; Yesterday I passed the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Accreditation exam.

As such, I am now the only LEED Accredited Architect in Northfield. Here’s what accreditation means:

LEED Professional Accreditation distinguishes building professionals with the knowledge and skills to successfully steward the integrated design and LEED certification process.

LEED Accredited Professionals (LEED APs) have demonstrated a thorough understanding of green building practices and principles and familiarity with LEED requirements, resources, and processes.

For our clients, this credential is an assurance or our professional intent to both promote green building design and to do it.

Interestingly enough, I received this (LEED catches on in Minnesota) in the e-mail this morning from my brother Paul (Thanks, Paul!) LEED is alive and well in Minnesota!
