The Green Building Certification Institute (GBCI) revealed the inaugural class of LEED Fellows. The LEED Fellow Program is GBCI's new and most prestigious professional designation. The LEED Fellow designation recognizes exceptional contributions to green building and significant professional achievement within the rapidly growing community of LEED Professionals.
Thirty-four of the world's most distinguished green building professionals were selected to be LEED Fellows through a peer nomination and portfolio review process. Among other requirements, LEED Fellows must have at least 10 years of green building experience and hold a LEED AP with specialty credential.
"We are thrilled to bestow the LEED Fellow designation upon these highly accomplished individuals," said Peter Templeton, president, GBCI.
