LEED Building Design & Construction EXAM PREP
Tuesday, September 15, 2011 | 8:00 AM–5:00 PM (CT) | Auburn University Student Center, Room 2225
Overview
LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is an internationally recognized green building certification system developed by the USGBC. The broad range of LEED rating areas has necessitated the development of a series of specialty building certifications and professional accreditations. These specialty credentials now replace the more general LEED AP accreditation. The LEED AP + BD&C (Building Design and Construction) credential was created by the Green Building Certification Institute (GBCI) to denote practical knowledge of the Green Building Design and Construction LEED rating systems: LEED for New Construction, LEED for Schools and LEED for Core & Shell. This Course will provide an overview of all of the prerequisites and credits required for buildings to obtain the certification in the Green Building Design + Construction LEED rating systems, which includes:- LEED for New Construction: Design and construction activities for new buildings and major renovations of existing buildings.
- LEED for Core and Shell: Design and construction of the core and shell of a building.
- LEED for Schools: Design and construction activities for both new school buildings and major renovations of existing school buildings.
The course will review the LEED Green Building Design and Construction rating systems including the core credits and prerequisites, green building design concepts and strategies, as well as provide an overview of the USGBC and GBCI. Course notes, slides, and exams will be made available to attendees. This course is divided into 10 main topics:
- USGBC / LEED / GBCI overview
- LEED AP Exam Overview and Testing Tips
- Review of the LEED Green Building Design + Construction rating systems
- Sustainable Sites
- Water Efficiency
- Energy & Atmosphere
- Materials & Resources
- Indoor Environmental Quality
- Innovation in Design

Followed by Review and Q/A
Candidates with an existing LEED AP credential, LEED Green Associate credential are eligible to take the specialty exam. If you have not taken the Green Associate exam you may take both the GA exam and the BD&C exam in one sitting or on separate days. The LEED AP + BD&C exam is a two (2) hour multiple-choice multiple answer exam.
