Why green building?
Green building respects the environmental impact of the extraction of materials and the processes related to construction and operation, delivers cost savings and improved value to owners, conserves energy and water, and provides a healthy indoor environment for the people who live and work in these buildings. New green building initiatives and mandates in the region provide high-level support for improving design and construction practices and building performance, and professionals are challenged to deliver sustainable buildings in a harsh climate that meet increasingly tougher energy and water efficiency requirements. Developers and owners are generally attracted to the operational savings, lower lifecycle cost and reduced environmental impact that green building can achieve.
Who should attend

- Architects
- Engineers

Workshop objectives
This course is an introduction to the concepts of sustainable, high-performance green building, as well as methods for design, construction and evaluation. The emphasis is on reviewing the fundamentals of the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) rating system and the relevant LEED certification process as per LEED v5 requirements. The course provides the key preparatory information, tools and technical expertise for taking the exams for both LEED credentials: the LEED Green Associate™ (Tier I) and the LEED Accredited Professional for Building Design and Construction (LEED AP BD+C, Tier II). It also provides project teams with the procedures and technical tools for planning, designing and constructing LEED certified projects.
