LEED Fellows are the most distinguished green building professionals in the world
The prestigious LEED Fellow credential honors individuals who have made significant contributions to the field of green building and sustainability at a regional, national or international level.
LEED Fellows are vanguards in the field whose vision and leadership have influenced the transformation of the built environment through green design and practice.
Potential Fellows are nominated by their peers (who themselves must meet a set of eligibility requirements) and are evaluated in four of five “mastery elements” of the green building elite: technical proficiency (required), education and mentoring, leadership, commitment and service, and advocacy.
Duties of LEED Fellows
LEED Fellows are expected to share their knowledge and experience by participating on committees related to LEED, through speaking engagements, and by publishing articles, case studies and other materials to help nourish the green building profession.
