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,”
