Introduction to Green Badger Accademy

I'm Tommy Linstroth, founder and CEO of Green Badger.
I’ve been involved with sustainable design and construction my entire career. I started as Director of Sustainability for a development company, then transitioned into running the consulting firm Trident Sustainability Group, and now as the founder and CEO of Green Badger. I’m a huge proponent of not only sustainable design, but of the value of transparency and third-party verification. The challenge with these certifications is that the documentation process is a royal pain in the ass. I love LEED certification, but I hate LEED documentation. After pounding my head against the wall too many times and seeing 100 column spreadsheets in my sleep, I knew there had to be a better way, and thus Green Badger was born as a software solution to automate LEED projects.
And now, project teams can get all the LEED education they need with Green Badger Academy!
What can you expect from Green Badger Academy?
Practical advice gathered from assisting over 150+ LEED projects including which of the LEED v4 construction credits are essential, practical, and irrelevant to switch over to v4.1, and how to achieve each one in order of how you'll typically handle them throughout construction.
