The Little Red Schoolhouse offers certified LEED credits
Bell
& Gossett’s Little Red Schoolhouse Education Center in suburban Chicago is now a
certified provider of continuing education for LEED professionals as approved
by the Green Building Certification Institute. The school’s Large Chilled
Water Design Seminar and Modern Hydronic System Design Basic Seminar are the
pump industry’s first courses to be approved by GBCI to provide credit toward
the credential maintenance requirements of the LEED Green Associate and LEED AP
certifications.
The content provided in the two seminars meets GBCI’s goals of facilitating access to high-quality professional development for those in the green building industry. The courses focus on the application of pumps and related products to enable water and energy conservation and improve building system efficiency.
“The Little Red Schoolhouse is an industry leader in training and we are excited to add increased opportunities for engineers, contractors and facility maintenance professionals to earn LEED continuing education credits,” said Mark Handzel, director of building services marketing for Xylem.
The seminars are tailored to various job functions and areas of expertise and cover a wide range of important topics. The lead seminar instructors are LEED-Accredited Professionals. Upon completion of the three-day seminars, 1.7 CEU credits are awarded to graduates.
