LEED CE
WHAT IS LEED CE?
According to USGBC, “Continuing education or “CE” hours are the hours LEED professionals spend in credential maintenance activities. CE hours are calculated differently depending on the activity.”
For more information on what activities qualify for CE hours, please visit: https://www.gbrionline.org/are-you-looking-for-aia-and-leed-ce-hours/
HOW MANY CE HOURS DO I NEED?
All LEED-accredited professionals are required to complete Continuing Education (CE) hours every 2 years. LEED Green Associates must complete 15 CE hours every two years, and 3 of the 15 CE hours must be LEED Specific. LEED APs must complete 30 CE hours every two years and 6 of the 30 CE hours must be related to their specialty.

- an in-depth, technical LEED update,
- an in-depth LEED project case study targeted toward a specific LEED credit,
- a best practice lesson that entails successful or unsuccessful implementation of LEED, or
- show benefits of using LEED (return on investment, grants, taxes or incentives).
