What is the U.S Green Building Council?

USGBC (U.S. Green Building Council) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to transforming the built environment, making it a healthier and more sustainable place to live in. Its LEED green building certification program equips delegates with the knowledge and skills required to transform buildings and communities into a more prosperous, resilient, and healthy environment to reside.

The main objective of the USGBC Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program is to create reputable and sustainable benchmarks for green buildings and homes in terms of design, construction, maintenance, and operation.

LEED certification is a certification demonstrating that the building was built according to LEED standards. Buildings certified under LEED are healthy, high-performing, and cost-saving. LEED professionals are required to help minimize building emissions and energy use.

A LEED certification consists of two degrees, LEED Green Associate and LEED Accredited Professional. A LEED AP certification is a higher degree of preparation that is compared to LEED GA.
