WPL Publishing Schedules LEED Green Associate Exam Preparation Webinar Series.


 

The series, which is set to begin Jan. 21, will cover green design, construction, and operations as well as energy efficiency, indoor environmental quality, stormwater management, and other topics involving green buildings and the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program. The course has been approved for six American Institute of Architects learning units.

WPL Publishing soon will kick off a four-part webinar series to help people prepare for the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Green Associate (LEED GA) exam.

The series, which will begin Jan. 21 and end Feb. 11, is intended to bridge the gaps between other exam preparation resources, such as the U.S. Green Building Council’s (USGBC) “Green Building & LEED Core Concepts Guide” and “LEED Green Associate Study Guide.” To register for the four-part series, entitled “LEED Green Associate Exam Preparation,” visit https://tinyurl.com/nrhdqvb.

Here is a breakdown of individual webinar sessions, each of which will begin at 1:00 p.m. (EST) and last for 90 minutes:

Session 1, “Green Building and LEED Overview,” Jan. 21 -- This session will provide an introduction to LEED and the LEED GA credentialing process with a general overview of green building practices and LEED for green design, construction, and operations.

Session 3, “Energy and Energy-Related Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ),” Feb. 4 -- During this session, webinar attendees will be guided through the “Energy and Atmosphere” category.
