Volunteer


GBCI is currently looking for volunteers for:

LEED Reviewer beta testing

GBCI is currently recruiting volunteers to  to beta test the upcoming LEED Reviewer exam, between February 3 and 16, 2010 for free. For beta candidates, the beta test is an opportunity to take the LEED Reviewer exam at no cost and, upon final scoring of the results, potentially earn the LEED Reviewer certificate. If you fail the beta, you will be able to take the final version of that test when it is released in the summer of 2010.

Beta tests are trial runs of new exams that GBCi uses to collect performance data, valuable statistical information, and candidate comments. This information is used to help build a valid and reliable exam for the public. Beta testing is delivered through GBCI's testing company Prometric.

To be eligible for the LEED Reviewer beta exam you must be able to answer YES to all four of the questions below.
  • Did you attend a LEED Certification Reviewer Training Course offered by GBCI or USGBC? OR Did you obtain Reviewer training with your current or past employer? 
  • Do you have at a minimum a Bachelors degree in a building science such as engineering, architecture, interior design, urban planning, or construction?
  • Do you have at least three years of LEED experience working/consulting on LEED projects?
  • Are you a LEED AP? OR If you aren’t a LEED AP, do you have ten years work experience in the building sciences with a minimum of three of these years working/consulting on LEED projects?
The application closes January 20. Apply now.

Continuing Education Advisory Group

GBCI is looking for LEED Professionals from a variety of fields, geographic regions, nationalities, and educational backgrounds to join our new Continuing Education Advisory Group. The Continuing Education Advisory Group (CEAG) is an integrated group of volunteers and staff charged to provide advice to the GBCI CSC regarding educational opportunities for credential maintenance. Both LEED Green Associates and LEED APs (with specialty) are encouraged to apply. Apply now.

Subject Matter Expert, Development

In order to ensure the transparent and valid exam development process, GBCI enlists Subject Matter Experts from all green building disciplines to inform and shape development discussions and decisions. Subject Matter Experts inform program staff on the needs of the green building industry, the market’s perceptions of GBCI credentials and how GBCI can best fill gaps in assessment and credentialing to provide the market with qualified, knowledgeable persons.  Those interested in volunteering as a Subject Matter Expert for Exam Development should have expertise in design and construction, operations and maintenance, residential or neighborhood development, and also have an understanding of the green building industry and practice.

Subject Matter Expert, Item Writing

GBCI seeks input from Subject Matter Experts in order to write and review exam questions. The item writing process is continuous and on-going and Subject Matter Experts may be called upon several times each year to participate in item writing meetings hosted by GBCI. Those interested in volunteering as an item writer should be fluent in the LEED rating system and the LEED certification process with an interest in using assessment as a tool to measure the qualifications and competencies of future exam candidates and to ensure that GBCI professional credentials continue to represent knowledgeable green building practitioners.
