      The LEED Project Participation Program is a practical way to gain LEED project experience without leaving one’s office. This online course utilized many of the features of webcasts one has come to expect. Our Project Manager and Administrator was instrumental in getting project team members involved and in making the course interesting, productive, and useful -
