I’m an independent contractor working on some pretty big projects involving both government and private sector contracts. Since I broke off and started my own business as an independent contractor, I can say that being a leed ap has enabled me to bring in far more business than ever before. The classes took a bit, but in the end I was leed accredited and I haven’t regretted it since. I know more than ever about energy efficiency for homes. The recent increase in energy efficient office buildings has also increased my contractual work with the government. Agencies left and right are hopping onto the buzzword ‘green’ due to government standards. As an independent contractor looking back at my business 5 years ago, I can say that having leeds was well worth the time and money.
I’ve been looking into hiring a couple more employees, and having this certification will be at the top of the requirement list. It has been great to see my company grow with these new standards, and I feel like I am doing my part to ensure the world is a better place to be. It really is a win-win situation that anybody can appreciate or enjoy.
