SHP Leading Design Now Has Six iPhone Apps

01.28.10

SHP Leading Design is pleased to announce that Ecoflash® now has six iPhone Applications.  These include Ecoflash Green Associate (GA); Green Associate Lite; Building Design + Construction  (BD+C); Building Design + Construction Lite; Green Interior Design & Construction (ID+C) and Existing Buildings: Operations & Maintenance (O+M). The flashcards are a series of applications geared at helping people prepare for LEED exams.

In an effort to extend their commitment to educating not only their own employees, but also the professional community, SHP Leading Design has designed these revolutionary apps for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Ecoflash Apps have been downloaded in over 40 countries on six continents.  

"People across the globe are using the Ecoflash Apps to help study for the LEED exams," Allison Beer, SHP's Director of Sustainability said.  "This is a testament to not only the quality of  information provided on the flash cards, but also their ease of use."

All of the apps have the same popular features.  If you’re ready to start studying, touch “QuickStart” to randomly see 100 of the possible cards. If you’d like to better control what cards you see, tap the Categories menu to see all of the cards at once, to sort them by category, or to sort them by type of question.

A unique feature of EcoFlash is Leafmarks® - the equivalent of bookmarking a certain card the user would like to come back to. A Leafmark icon on each individual card can be toggled on or off. The icon on the user’s homescreen reminds him how many cards he has set aside.

To further aid the study process, EcoFlash will re-order the flashcards for each new session or,
the user can tell EcoFlash to remember where the previous session left off.  Additionaly, EcoFlash  allows the user to study by information category such as LEED Process or Water Management or by information type such as Facts and Figures or Referenced Standards.  The user also has the ability to listen to music while studying from the app.

The apps range in price from $19.99 to $29.99 each.  SHP also has two free trial versions with an abbreviated sampling of cards - so try it and see what you think! Future versions of the EcoFlash family include flashcard apps for Homes (HOMES); and Neighborhood Development (ND).
