MULTIPLE SPECIALTIES & PRORATING

Multiple Specialties

LEED APs can maintain multiple specialties. LEED APs designate their “primary specialty,” thespecialty in which they will complete the majority of their CE hours. All other specialties will bedesignated as “secondary specialties.”

LEED APs must complete 30 CE hours in their primary specialty (6 of which must be LEED-specific) and complete an additional 6 LEED-specific hours for each secondary specialty:

Specialties	Total CE hours	LEED-specific	Total fee
1	30	6	$50
2	36	12	$50
3	42	18	$50
4	48	24	$50
5	54	30	$50

Prorating

If the primary and secondary specialties are not earned at the same time, the reporting period cycle does not change and the CE hours for the secondary specialty are prorated for the reporting period inwhich the secondary specialty is earned:

Time after start of reporting period	Prorated LEED-specific hours required for secondary specialty
0-6 months	6 LEED-specific hours
7-12 months	4.5 LEED-specific hours
13-18 months	3 LEED-specific hours
19-24 months	1.5 LEED-specific hours

For example, if the reporting period for the primary specialty begins on 6/1/2011:
