Green Building Job Opportunities
Green building jobs, virtually non-existent just 20 years ago, have grown immensely in popularity over the past several years as businesses and consumers demand more energy-efficient and environmentally-friendly homes, offices, commercial buildings and other construction. Increases in energy prices, combined with dwindling natural resources and a better-educated populace have combined to make green construction a popular offering by home builders and commercial construction companies. The result is a plethora of jobs in the green building industry. Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, or
LEED for short, is a designation for both new construction, i.e. - a building is said to be "LEED Certified" when it meets certain LEED criteria - and for professionals who have undergone the requisite training to be considered LEED experts. LEED building designations include Certified, Silver, Gold and Platinum, all of which are based on a point system that takes into account a variety of factors, including site selection, alternative transportation, energy efficiency, etc. The LEED program is intricately intertwined with
green building in general, as the program is the de facto standard for green building, though the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) also has an "Energy Start Home" standard that is often used in tandem with the LEED certification to indicate the level of sustainability and environmental friendliness of a home or building.
