Continuing Education LEED Green Associate Presented by John A. Boecker, AIA This course introduces attendees to the principles behind high performance green building and the LEED Green Building Rating System, the most widely used tool for assessing green buildings worldwide. The session will begin by discussing what green buildings are, why they are important, and how they are created. The concept of integrative design is then introduced as the key to engaging LEED cost-effectively, followed by an introduction of LEED, the structure of the LEED Rating system, its purpose, and its certification process. The remainder of the course will focus on the core concepts of LEED, its intent, and the principles associated with its credits, which are organized around five primary categories of environmental and human health issues. The session will conclude with a discussion the LEED exam structure and by outlining the process for becoming a LEED Accredited Professional. During this workshop, participants will be able to identify significant components of the LEED rating system, as well as introduce the integrative design process. Participants will be provided with a clear understanding of the LEED certification process and be able to describe the intents of each LEED credit category and discuss the concepts of each category. Attendees will recognize strategies to achieve credit category goals, identify regulations, recognitions and incentives relative to each credit category. By the end of the session, participants should come away with a clear understanding of the knowledge requirements for the LEED Green Associate Exam.
