| Discover the real-world application of Green Building Design and Construction practices on LEED projects. Prepare yourself for the LEED AP+BD&C accreditation exam that (after passing) will allow you to operate as a successful LEED practitioner on and off job sites. The LEED Rating System is the industry leader in Green Building Design and Construction, and has driven market transformation in both the public and private sectors over the past decade. This innovative system is continually evolving to provide guidelines for specifying, designing, building and tracking sustainable best practices for site, water, energy, material and indoor air quality. As a result, numerous building codes such as the International Green Construction Code follow many of the LEED principles, and federal agencies along with many corporate policies mandate LEED certification to provide the environmental, economic and social benefits that these buildings have proven to possess. You will learn the tools, knowledge and materials necessary to pursue new opportunities in the growing green field as a LEED AP+ BD&C accredited professional ready to work on the next billion square feet of LEED Certified commercial space!
