Finah said it well; she has one foot on the dock and one foot in the boat. You were wise to ask questions rather than volunteer information. Might be a good time for you to pull back just a little. Always leave your audience wanting more...
Off topic: you mentioned LEED consultant. I am a LEED AP (our firm has two); took about 6 months of intense studying and then took the test. Regardless of what the construction industry is like right now (terrible) energy & resource conservation and management is the wave of the future. I have several certifications, but the LEED has opened the most doors.
Just my $.02...
