Online - Green Building Basics and LEED
Presented by: U.S. Green Building Council
This course is intended for those who are new to green building and looking to learn the basics of green building and LEED. The course offers an introduction to USGBC, green building principles and the fundamentals of the LEED Rating System. It includes topics on climate change and building impacts; motivators for green building; and integrative versus conventional approaches - and the associated benefits - to building design, construction and operations. You will leave this course with a basic understanding of the intent, concepts and terms for each LEED credit category, as well as green building best practices, regulations and incentives.
This course is for those seeking to learn only the basics. If you want to learn about LEED in greater detail, including specific strategies, metrics and standards - or if you are pursuing the LEED Green Associate credential - consider LEED Core Concepts & Strategies (offered online or LEED Faculty-led) instead of this offering.
Closed captioning is provided.
