Get Green Accreditation for your Business
Posted by MAGR on 05/17/09 in Business
Small business owners are always on the lookout for ways to get new customers, retain existing customers and improve their bottom line. One of the hottest ways to do that today is to work on the green angle of your business. This means making your business an eco-friendly business and promoting that fact in order to gain support from customers who are concerned about working with green businesses.
One way that you might want to develop this area of your business is to get leed accredited. This means that you get certified in certain aspects of green business. This is done primarily to teach you about green building and sustainable design so it’s not right for every business but it’s a type of green business development that some small businesses will certainly benefit from.
It’s relatively easy to get your leeds accreditation if you’re willing to put in a little bit of time and effort. You basically just need to pass an exam on topics related to the specific part of leeds that you’re studying. You can take a leed exam prep class to help you prepare for that. Then you take the test and you get accredited when you pass it.

Getting LEED accredited is just plain old common sense right now. I foresee a day when almost all building will have to be green building.

Once I set up my own construction company, I want to go green, too. That’s the way to be ready for the future.

It may take a while, but I’m determined to get all of my lead construction staff LEED certified. I think this certification is a good way to steer business to my company.

Going green only makes sense right now. There’s growing demand for LEED-certified contractors and builders that is only going to increase in the next two decades. Might as well hop on the green train now.

Even businesses that are peripheral to the construction business, like carting or materials recyclers can benefit from that LEED certification. It’s definitely worth what it costs.

I’m making sure that all my construction leads get LEED certified to ensure that they’ll be able to carry out whatever green building specs our clients want.

Anybody who works with electrical side of construction needs to get LEED certified. Otherwise, all the changes in technology and energy usage will leave you scrambling to play catch-up.
