Announcing: USGBC-GHAC Google group discussion platforms!

As a way to encourage our readership to more easily make contact to join study groups to prepare to take the LEED AP exam, we have created a Google group. If you are not familiar with a group discussion platform, you subscribe to it to read and submit postings germaine to that group. In addition to viewing this site at your convenience, you can choose to have an email sent to you with the postings. We have also set up an Emerging Green Builder group to enable discussions of greenbuilding issues. Both of these groups are open to anyone with internet access, but available only to those who subscribe and set up a Google account.

You can accept this invitation to subscribe by clicking on the "Visit this group" link below. Access to the group on the web requires a Google Account. If you don't have a Google Account set up yet, you'll first need to create an account before you can access the group.
