Two 8 Hour Workshops on Green Building Principles & LEED Core Concepts
U.S. Green Building Council has made a number of recent changes to the LEED examinations required for accreditation. 'Green Associate' is the Tier 1 achievement within USGBC's new LEED 2009 three-tiered accreditation system, and signifies a strong knowledge base of the principles of LEED Sustainable Design. 'LEED AP+' is now offered as a Tier 2 credential and is geared towards industry professionals who plan on working on specific types of Green Building Projects.
Day 1 (March 11, 2010): LEED Green Associate Seminar:
The Green Associate (GA) Exam Prep Seminar will provide an overview of all the content covered on the GA exam. All candidates who wish to become a LEED Accredited Professional (AP) need to start by first becoming a Green Associate (referred to as Tier 1 accreditation). Topics covered include project registration and certification process, overview of concepts that are covered across all LEED rating systems, intro to the computer-based testing environment, and a road map for how to organize your post-seminar prep. AIA Credits: 8.0 HSW/4.0 SD LU.
NOTE: Unless you have past experience on a LEED project OR are employed in a sustainable field of work, it is a mandatory requirement that you attend a Green Building Seminar before USGBC will issue you a LEED Green Associate test date.
Day 2 (March 12, 2010): LEED AP, Building Design + Construction (BD+C):
For those interested in achieving a Tier 2 LEED credential, the LEED BD+C seminar is meant to prepare candidates to become a LEED AP with a specialization in the Building Design and Construction Rating System. The BD+C rating system is the most utilized and is applicable for most new construction or major renovation of a commercial, institutional or high-rise residential project. The seminar will thoroughly prepare candidates for this exam, as it covers the point structure and requirements of every LEED credit. AIA Credits: 8.0 HSW/4.0 SD LU.
NOTE: In order to be eligible to sit for a LEED AP+ Exam, you must have experience on a LEED project within the last 3 years. Call 1-800-355-1751 if you have any further questions on this or any of the other new requirements.
Each session is worth 8.0 HSW credits (4 SD)
Study materials included. Breakfast and lunch provided.
