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)
