USGBC’s LEED AP BD+C (LEED Accredited Professional) Exam Certification training course

Green building (also known as green construction or sustainablebuilding) refers to both a structure and the using of processes that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building’s life-cycle: from siting to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and demolition.

USGBC’s LEED professional credential signifies that you’re a leader in the field and an active participant in the green building movement. With jobs specifying the need for green building expertise, a LEED credential shows a clear commitment to professional growth, while underscoring your value to LEED project teams and sustainability-focused organizations.
