Ron Blank & Associates Expands Resources for Building Professionals

The new LEED Green Associate exam preparation course removes financial barriers for entry-level professionals, offering a self-paced curriculum built on the USGBC’s LEED v5 rating system. The program includes 10 high-definition video modules, a comprehensive study guide, and three full-length practice exams containing 300 questions. Designed for those with no prior green building background, the materials cover core credit categories ranging from water efficiency to indoor environmental quality.

Running September 9–10, the Spec Shaman Summit targets sales representatives, marketing teams, and industry executives. The event moves beyond theory into practical application, featuring workshops on specification writing, BIM and Revit workflows, and the implementation of AI-driven market intelligence pipelines. A central component of the summit is a candid panel featuring architects, engineers, and contractors who will detail the specific factors currently influencing product procurement decisions. Founded in 1985, Ron Blank & Associates continues its focus on bridging the gap between design professionals and manufacturers through these latest professional development tools.
