The importance of sustainability needs little introduction. We can see the impacts of global warming, the increase in CO2 emissions, the spread of diseases such as COVID 19. Buildings contribute to a large extent to this and when well designed, they can reduce the stress on the environment and improve human health.
LEED is a green building certification program and the globally recognised standard for the design, construction and operation of high-performance green buildings and neighbourhoods. Sustainability is far broader than recycling or installing solar panels.Â
This course is designed to give you a broad understanding of the holistic approach taken by LEED to contribute to the triple bottom line – people, planet, profit.
Today’s most popular and most commonly used version of LEED BD+C V4, and it sets the bar for building standards to address energy efficiency, water conservation, site selection, material selection, day lighting and waste reduction.Â
Think of this course as a foundational course on LEED BD+C. This course is designed to provide you with a tutorial of all the credits, standards and requirements for this global standard. The Standard Reference V4 BD+C guide has over 800 pages.Our Promise to You
