Description
Are you aware that Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, or LEED Version 4 is now officially adopted by the United States Green Building Council? The goal of sustainable development is to create healthy environments through environmentally responsible planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance. The heart of the sustainable building movement is the USGBC LEED Green Building Rating System for buildings. This course specifically today covers the LEED for Building Design and Construction, known commonly as LEED BD + C. This course discusses the background of the LEED BD + C credit rating system and covers recent changes to the system, including the addition of new market sectors, simplified LEED credit submittal requirements, step-by-step reference guide materials with videos and tutorials, and a more intuitive technology platform. Other recent changes include the focus on outcomes to aid in building management, as well as the addition of new impact categories.
