Description

Are you looking to make a difference in the world of sustainable design and construction? LEED Green Associates are equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to promote and implement green building practices in your workplace and community. This training provides essential knowledge of sustainable building concepts that are fundamental to all LEED Rating Systems. It begins with an introduction to the benefits and integrative approach to green building, and a brief background on the U.S. Green Building Council and LEED, including the basics of the building certification process. The core of the workshop presents LEED intents and concepts at the credit category level - across building types and rating systems - touching on strategies, synergies, and specific examples that are reinforced by real project cases. Key metrics and standards referenced in LEED are introduced throughout the workshop. This course lays the foundation for the LEED Green Associate credential and will cover details to sit for the exam. The final session will include interactive quizzing and games to help prepare for what is on the exam.
