How do I add a project profile to the project directory?

Answer

A LEED project profile contains basic project details, a project overview or summary of what a project team accomplished and also imports the scorecard and project team list from LEED Online. Project teams will be able to complete a LEED project profile for each certified project visible in the directory.

LEED project profiles may also include more details in the story tab. This tab focuses on how and why strategies, processes, and credits were attempted and/or achieved. The story includes lessons learned and advice for other project teams who may be facing similar situations.

Contributing to the “story” portion of the LEED project profile is an exclusive opportunity connected to USGBC membership.

Project teams that have achieved certification under the most recent version of LEED (v2009 and v2008 for Homes) are eligible to contribute to the story portion of the profile. Upon submission, the story will be reviewed. Submissions may be returned with questions and comments for resubmission to enhance the educational value and market relevance of the profile. A completed LEED project profile may have the opportunity to be included in future USGBC education and programming.

Submit your story

Individuals who facilitate and/or author the LEED project profile story tab are eligible to earn up to 3 LEED specific GBCI Continuing Education (CE) hours per published profile. Additionally, by facilitating a LEED project profile and partnering with your local chapter, you can fill project eligibility requirements needed to take the LEED AP exam (one person per profile is eligible) if your work is selected to be published on USGBC.org.

Select chapters support LEED project profile creation. Connect with your local chapter to find out more about partnering locally to create a LEED project profile.
