LEED Core Concepts & Strategies
Presented by: U.S. Green Building Council
This workshop is intended for anyone who wants more than a basic understanding of LEED - including those with a stake in their company's or community's building practices, those directly involved in green building projects, and those pursuing GBCI's LEED Green Associate credential.
The workshop 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 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 LEED metrics and LEED referenced standards are addressed throughout the workshop. Interactive activities within the course keep you engaged and reinforce what you've learned.
This course provides the foundation required for any 300-level LEED education offering.
RECOMMENDED PRIOR KNOWLEDGE
None.
YOUR REGISTRATION INCLUDES
- Instruction from official USGBC Faculty who are experts in LEED and trained in facilitation and adult learning techniques
- Participant workbook, which includes interactive learning activities based on real LEED projects and a glossary of key green building definitions
- Continuing education for 7 hours of instruction directly reported to AIA and CSI; certificate of completion for self-reporting to other professional organizations
- Lunch and refreshment breaks

This course, like all USGBC LEED education programs, meets GBCI eligibility requirements for the LEED Green Associate.
NOTE: As of January 1, 2010, this course does not meet the requirements for GBCI's Credential Maintenance Program and is no longer approved for GBCI CE Hours. However, this course will satisfy the eligibility requirement for taking the LEED Green Associate Exam.
