I have hundreds of blog subscriptions in my Google Reader and I have added dozens of LEED-themed blogs over the past few months. Today, I want to share my favorite LEED blog with you – Real Life LEED.
The author of Real Life LEED, Joel McKellar, aims to provide information about LEED certification in a way that is accessible to everyone, even those outside of the industry. The most recent post on the blog defines the difference between LEED certified and LEED registered projects. Joel is a LEED AP and has been blogging at Real Life LEED for about a year. In May 2008, McKellar discussed his blog in an interview for The American Institute of Architect’s Archiblog.
“His blog's goal is to provide a free, simple, and timely resource for other sustainability professionals who need to work through practical documentation issues. He's no USGBC basher though. McKellar is helping its South Carolina chapter establish a local branch in the Charleston area. “ Source: AIA Archiblog
Whether you are studying to become a LEED Accredited Professional yourself or just want to learn more about this green building certification process, Real Life LEED is a great resource.

Excellent source, i have checked http://www.planetprinciples.com/content/leed-exam-prep
I became LEED certified in March, 2009. Now the rules have changed. How does this impact my accredidation?
You can educate yourself in different ways on LEED. Having a great study guide and hands on experience is one way to educate yourself. Reading over blogs and postings like the LEED entry would help as well.

I heard rumours of a specific LEED site development certification. I am trying to see if these rumours are true or not. Thanks!
Having a constant subscription to green news or blogs is a great way to keep up to date as well as learn about new ways and trends to learn more about LEED, especially since there are several new LEED programs out.

Thanks for the kind words!
I just wrote about Audubon Society's new Platinum headquarters in NYC: http://mosshysteria.blogspot.com/2009/03/platinum-letter-day.html
Herman Miller, who supplied their furniture, hosted the screening of a terrific 15 minute video (that contributed to their eco-ed points) which shows the before and after. I learned a lot and was really inspired by the teamwork involved.
