Many employers also want you to be LEED AP certified, which demonstrates that you have a working knowledge of green energy techniques. Other skills that can make you attractive to an employer include excellent writing and speaking skills, the ability to work in noisy environments, a thorough understanding of the industry regulations, and proficiency with energy modeling software.
