Interested
in getting involved in the Green Building Industry? Opportunities are
plentiful in the field of sustainable design and LEED is at its
forefront.
LEED
(Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is simply a
green-rating point system, or a scorecard. The more energy efficient and
sustainable
a building is, the more points it will earn. To date, over 1000
students have taken this course and they have all subsequently passed
their respective exam. This course is offered at a quarter of the price
and time as the competition and is geared at allowing
students to graduate with letters after their name!
Just as Buildings can be LEED certified, people in the sustainable construction industry can become LEED Professionals.
WAPPA and the Department of Civil Engineering are
partnering up with LeadingGreen to bring LEED Training to your school! The LEED Green Associate (GA)
credential is the only entry level sustainability designation and shows
employers and clients that you have certified knowledge in the green
building
industry.
