Now that the Sustainable Sites Initiative has certified its first three projects, willl there be a move in the near future to create a exam and specific credential for SITES practitioners? If so, when might we begin to see development and promotion of that exam? Many of us are anxious for that credential to be made available soon. Thanks.

Debra – I have a project in the SITES pilot. We were asked to take a survey in October 2011 about the feasibility and value of SITES professional credentialing and project certification with GBCI. I have not heard the results of that survey but it sounds like your idea is being considered.

Thanks, Michelle. I took the same survey and had discussions about it with local LEED APs, many of whom were supportive of the need for a professional SITES credential for those who want it. I waited 4 years for the ND exam to become available, and it was worth the wait, but I would like to see an exam for SITES be ready for us from GBCI very soon. With the first three projects certified and an update to the rating system coming shortly, it would be great to see GBCI make this a priority.
