The United States Green Building Council (USGBC) was established in 1993 by 3 co-founders; Mike Italiano, David Gottfried, and Rick Fedrizzi. It is a private organization that promotes sustainability in building design, construction, and operation.

USGBC’s main goal is to promote awareness of green buildings and the importance of sustainable sites. In 1993, the formation of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) began and the first version LEED 1.0, was introduced in 1998.

The version was tested on 19 projects which all had positive outcomes. Thereafter, USGBC launched LEED for new construction in 2000. The current version is LEED v4.1 which has a lot of improvements and changes. 

Some of the most LEED-Certified projects are:

• • • Willis Tower, Chicago (LEED Gold)
    • TAIPEI 101, Taipei, Taiwan (LEED Platinum)
    • The Empire State Building, New York City (LEED Gold)

LEED Training in India:

The LEED certification consists of two levels which are LEED GA and LEED AP.

1. LEED Green Associate (LEED GA):

It is a foundation course for a beginner who wants to understand the LEED rating system’s basic framework and concepts. The LEED GA exam measures your knowledge of green building practices. The exam runs for two hours and it can be taken from home or a Prometric testing center.

The exam pattern is 100 multiple choice questions and you must earn a scaled score of 170 or higher. The foundational LEED GA credential is the first to achieve before proceeding to earn the advanced credential, LEED AP. 

2. LEED Accredited Professional Specialty (LEED AP BD+C):

The LEED AP Specialty is an advanced credential that denotes a higher knowledge of green building and the LEED rating system. After the completion of the LEED GA Exam, you can pursue the LEED AP. Please note that the LEED AP exam cannot be taken without first passing the LEED GA exam.

If you are involved in a LEED project or will be, it is very important that you complete the LEED AP exam. The LEED AP exam is two hours long and it can be taken from home or a Prometric testing center. The exam pattern is 100 multiple choice questions and you must earn a scaled score of 170 or higher.

LEED AP has multiple specialties available. You can choose the category that suits your designation, such as:

• • • LEED AP Building Design + Construction (BD+C)
