In October 2016, Green Business Certification Inc. (GBCI) began offering testing for the SITES AP exam, and it has just announced its first cohort of SITES® APs who have earned their credentials through GBCI.

Congratulations to the Washington Chapter for having the greatest number of people take the SITES® AP exam with a total of nine, and to the Nevada Chapter for having the greatest percentage of their membership with a total of eight.

Recently, the University of Texas at El Paso’s (UTEP) Campus Transformation Project was awarded SITES® Silver certification, in addition to becoming the first project to certify under SITES v2.

There are less than two weeks left to register and take the SITES® Accredited Professional (SITES AP) Exam at your nearest Prometric location and help win you chapter some valuable resources.

Project teams need to begin early and consider sustainability from the get-go. SITES considers each major system of a landscape and requires best practices for each system during the design and construction stage, as well as for the life cycle of a project.

Now that you’ve broken all your New Year’s resolutions, get yourself back on track and commit to elevating sustainable landscapes in the market and in professional practice. Take the SITES® AP exam and become part of the first round of exam candidates. 

This session will provide SITES® leaders with a deeper understanding of how to present the basic concepts of SITES to diverse types of audiences.

Phase 1’s Gold certification demonstrates Nave Pier Inc.’s commitment to the environment through expanded green spaces, improved pedestrian access, energy efficiency, innovative stormwater management, use of recycled local materials, and much more.
