LEED Green Associate a professional credential that accelerates career

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, also commonly known as LEED, is a popular form of green building certification, which helps in making sure that a building is energy, water and resource efficient without compromising the comfort of the occupants. It is internationally known and accepted form of certification for green buildings. LEED Green Associate is a professional credential provided by USGBC, and also referred as LEED GA. We provide regular training on LEED Green Associate Exam training.

It is developed in such a way that it is well suited for all types and sizes of buildings. A client, architect, builder or any other stakeholder, who wants to take a step towards sustainability by helping develop green building can use LEED certification for their building.

This rating system works by providing credits or scores to certain aspects of sustainability for green building. These aspects or criteria include parameters like sustainable sites, location and transport, energy efficiency, indoor environmental quality, waste, water and resource management, etc. Each of this criteria is given a certain amount of weightage of scores. A LEED Green Associate or LEED GA is considered to be equipped with all necessary skills and understanding of LEED Credits.

The project stakeholders, who are willing to go for the certification may select and apply for a certain number of credits. Some of the points are pre-requisites, which must be done in order to achieve the certification. A score of at least 40 points must be secured in order to achieve the minimum level of LEED certification. There are also different levels of certification, namely- LEED Certified, Gold, Silver and Platinum. With a higher score, the project gets a higher certification level. A LEED Green Associate is a must for the teams seeking to achieve higher certification levels. And in order to become a LEED GA one must pass the LEED Green Associate Exam training.

This certification system is among the stringent green rating certification systems in the World. This is why, when a project receives a LEED certification, it also gets recognition at national and international level. This rating system also relies on some of the commonly known standards developed by organizations like ASHRAE, which help make this certification much more reliable and highly effective in providing sustainability through green buildings. LEED Green Associate or LEED GA is also expected to be aware about ASHRAE requirements.
