Who should take the LEED Exam?
All building professionals — architects, engineers, interior designers — who want to expand their job opportunities
should go green now and add the nationally acknowledged LEED AP to their credentials. In addition, lawyers, bankers,
appraisers, building owners — should also take our course because consumer demand for green real estate is soaring
and so is legislation mandating green-building, offering tax breaks ... and creating the threat of litigation.
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification by the US Green Building Council is the true measure of a building's level of sustainability.
The LEED system awards points for green practices and technologies. But strategies and procedures for attaining points are complicated. Therefore the US Green Building Council recommends that project teams include a LEED Accredited Professional, and even awards 1 point just for having a LEED AP.
To obtain LEED certification,
you need a LEED AP.
