Build-it-LEED® training
Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology), Washington Department of General Administration (GA), and O'Brien and Company partnered to train Ecology and GA staff to conduct Build-It-LEED for Contractors training. This day-long training, developed by O'Brien and Company and the Cascadia Region Green Building Council, will update building contractors working on green buildings using the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design standards). The Build-It-LEED course is available to contractors and sub-contractors hired to work on publicly-funded projects (see Law) and provides in-depth information on those LEED credits contractors need to implement and document.
