Linetec’s Tammy Schroeder earns LEED Green Associate certification

Tammy Schroeder, Linetec’s senior marketing specialist, successfully passed the U.S. Green Building Council’s (USGBC’s) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design® (LEED®) Green Associate Certification. LEED education, certification and accreditation are encouraged as part of the company’s environmentally-responsible practices and support for customers’ green design and building projects.

Schroeder adds her status as a LEED Green Associate to more than a decade of experience with Linetec, the nation’s largest, independent, architectural finishing company. She has written dozens of articles to give architects, contractors and manufacturers insight into all of the, eco-friendly, architectural finishing technologies – paint, powder coat and anodize.

In addition to authoring articles, Schroeder develops and maintains the company’s American Institute of Architects/Continuing Education System (AIA/CES) programs. She also manages the company’s award-winning website, Linetec.com, as well as its e-newsletters and other educational resources.

Linetec, part of Apogee Enterprises, Inc., provides leadership in green building through practical yet distinctive products and services to enclose green commercial buildings, delivered through sustainable business practices. Exemplifying these practices, Linetec has been a member of the USGBC since 2005.

The LEED Green Associate credential, introduced in 2009, demonstrates comprehensive knowledge in green building and the LEED building rating system. It distinguishes individuals who support, but may not directly participate in, green building in their regular professional work. This credential is also a prerequisite to pursue the next tier of accreditation, LEED Accredited Professional with Specialty.
