LEED AP Certification is a prestigious credential that showcases advanced expertise in sustainable building design and construction. Since the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) was formed in 1993, the need to define and measure green buildings led to the creation of LEED – Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design.
The LEED AP Certification Building Design + Construction specialization demonstrates mastery of green building practices within the LEED rating systems, including New Construction, Schools, and Core & Shell.
