New LEED 2009 Credentials: Now Open for Business |
|
|
News -
LEED Update
|
|
With the launch of LEED 2009, a new LEED credentialing system is now
available. The LEED Green Associate credential denotes basic knowledge
of green design, construction, and operations. For more technical
professionals, the LEED AP+ credentials denote knowledge of specific
LEED rating systems. The LEED AP Fellow credential, to be released,
will highlight professionals who have contributed to standards of
practice and improvements in the green building field.
An
important aspect of this new tiered structure is its inclusionary
characteristic. Whereas LEED credentialing had historically been geared
primarily for those professionals dealing with the technical
application of LEED, the new Green Associate credential allows
professionals from non-technical sectors to demonstrate their
knowledge of green building.
The Green Associate credential proves a foundational knowledge of LEED and green building. This means that a broker, realtor, lawyer, consultant, or investor
can now have a credential that clearly proves their fundamental
understanding of LEED, a competitive advantage in a market that is
quickly and surely turning green.
Take a LEED Core Concepts & Strategies workshop to gain a basic understanding of LEED and prepare for the Green Associate exam, or take a LEED 2009: Managing the Transition workshop for a comprehensive overview of the changes to LEED and green building.
