This Leonardo Academy training course covers the key knowledge areas for the LEEDŽ GA exam and the information needed to be an effective participant in the green building marketplace, including what you need to know about:

  • Sustainability
  • Sustainable buildings
  • LEEDŽ (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design)
  • U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC)
  • The Green Building Certification Institute (GBCI)
  • The LEEDŽ GA Exam

Participants will fully understand the core concepts required for the LEEDŽ GA exam, and feel confident in their pursuit of LEEDŽ GA credentialing. Leonardo Academy’s training approach cultivates a dynamic interaction with participants and provides opportunities for all four key modes of learning: auditory, visual, written, and via experience through open discussion and in response to the review questions.

Leonardo Academy also provides training participants with post training online:

  • Self quizzing for increasing and testing knowledge
    • Online flash cards
    • Online model exam questions

The GBCI’s new LEEDŽ Green Associate credential represents that individuals have a basic knowledge of green building principles and practices and LEED.LEEDŽ GA is for individuals that support green buildings in their regular professional work but do not need the detailed knowledge of particular LEED rating systems that would be documented by a rating system specific credential. Examples could include those who sell products that can contribute to LEED certification of buildings or those who sell or deliver services like green cleaning who want to have a general overall understanding of sustainable buildings and LEED. The LEEDŽ GA credential is also a prerequisite to pursue the next tier of LEEDŽ accreditation, LEEDŽ Professional with Specialty, which is designed for professionals that directly apply LEEDŽ and green building in their practice.
