  17. Who We Are • Metro Area Sheet Metal Joint Apprenticeship & Training Committee (Metro JATC) • Sheet Metal Workers are construction workers.

  18. Goals & Outcomes To provide LEED Green Associate training to our sheet metal apprentices, journey-level workers and contractors. Improve green building skills to increase the likelihood that many of our unemployed members will be hired to work on green building projects.

  19. What is LEED? • Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design • Rating System Created by USGBC (United States Green Building Council) • USGBC.org • GBCI (Green Building Certification Institute)

  20. U.S. Green Building Council • The US GSA requires all new federal construction/major renovations to achieve LEED certification. • The mission of the USGBC is to transform buildings and communities. • All buildings today are built to a higher green standard whether they pursue the LEED certification or not.

  21. LEED Rating System • LEED is a nationally accepted third party rating system (possibly internationally). • LEED is a tool, not an end product. • LEED is relevant in any stage of a building’s life cycle. • USGBC administers all LEED certification through third party certifications accredited by ANSI. • All LEED rating systems (greenness) are based on a 100 point scale.

  22. LEED Family of Ratings • LEED Building Design & Construction • LEED for Interior Design & Construction • LEED for Operations & Maintenance • LEED Core & Shell • LEED for Homes • LEED for Neighborhoods • LEED for Schools • Note: Titles and ratings may change over time.

  23. Accreditations with the U.S. Green Building Council • LEED Fellow • LEED Accredited Professional • LEED Accredited Professional, with Specialty • LEED Green Associate

  24. Our Class Format: • 8 hours of general Green and Sustainability knowledge (global view). • 16 hours of LEED GA specific study. • This course preps you for the LEED GA exam. Extra study hours will likely be required.

  25. Why LEED Credentialed Personnel??? • Marketing/something to talk to your customer about. • Negotiated work. • Differentiate your firm from the competition. • LEED credentialed people are leaders (knowledgeable and productive).

  26. Accomplishments to Date: • Since June 2010, the JATC has held eleven LEED courses. Each course is 24-Hours of training and guidance on the LEED Green Associate exam. • Starting in September 2011, in-school apprentices will each have an 8-hour LEED class to introduce them to green building. • 93 members have been enrolled in the RAD system. • 89 members have completed training. • 17 members have received LEED credentialing, 11 of whom were enrolled in the LEED Green training and RAD system. • 35 members have returned to work since beginning their training.

  27. What Isn’t Working So Well: • Attracting our members and contractors to sign up for these classes. Our projected participant numbers are falling short of our goal.

  28. What we have to offer you: • We are willing to share and teach others in Minnesota this class.

  29. Release – Internal Grantee RFP • Released today • Focus: What could you do to strengthen, expand, broaden your project with additional $? • How would you increase your job placements? • Simple, 2-page application • Due December 1 • Will present recommendations to Exec Team on December 13 • Up to $800,000 available, can request up to $100,000
