Spring 2021 Cohort: LEED Green Associate
Join other sustainability changemakers in learning the concepts, terminology and methodologies related to green building and sustainable urban design!
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is the world’s most widely used green building rating system with nearly 80,000 projects participating in LEED across 162 countries as of 2016. Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), it includes a set of rating systems for the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of green buildings, homes, and neighborhoods with the goal to help building owners and operators be more environmentally responsible and use resources more efficiently.
The focus of the Spring 2021 study group will be the LEED Green Associate curriculum. The material is fairly non-technical and was created by USGBC to help educate professionals who want to have a fundamental understanding of green building practices. The coursework focuses on the LEED project process (including integrated design), core sustainability concepts, green building terminology, and various aspects of the LEED rating system. Cohort participants who apply themselves to learning the material and completing all study group objectives will be well prepared to take the LEED Green Associate certification exam if they desire to do so. Taking the exam is not an expectation for study group participation.
