We will start with the word LEED, what is LEED?  it is acronym of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. It is a registered trademark by USGBC, no one else can use it in business other than USGBC. This brings another question into play. What is USGBC, USGBC is an acronym for United State Green Building Council. The USGBC promotes sustainability in the buildings, design construction and operation.

When we mention LEED we should think about what LEED certification can do. It can improve sustainability, better energy performance, and is better for the triple bottom line. LEED by far is the most widely used green building system globally and works for buildings in all phases, that is design construction and operation. LEED Green Associate credential is in high demand.

This is applicable for all types of buildings including Hospitals, Hotels, Commercial and residential structures. There are thousands of LEED professionals around the world. LEED can measure the performance of a building through set KPIs. For example energy performance, water efficiency, and waste diversion. LEED provides baseline against which one can understand the savings they achieved. LEED-certified buildings can save lots of money.

The LEED buildings could be 2 to 5% more costly when constructing but have less operational cost. LEED buildings have better indoor environmental quality. The occupants are considered to be happier and healthier in LEED certified buildings. LEED has several certification types such as LEED BD+C, LEED existing Building operation, and maintenance, LEED interior Design, and construction (ID+C), LEED neighborhood development (ND). There are four LEED certification levels starting from certified, then silver to gold and lastly platinum that earn more than 80 points. Higher certification means better and more sustainable buildings. Who can become LEED Green Associate? Anyone interested to build carrier in construction and real estate industry such as Architects, urban planners, landscape professionals, MEP and civil engineer.

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design commonly referred to as LEED is the most commonly used green building certification system around the world. The LEED GA credential is bestowed to professionals who have a recognized, informed understanding of the most recent green building strategy and implementation practices. The LEED GA is a foundational credential and for many it is the first step before earning advanced credentials such as the LEED AP with specialty. At GE3S academy we have expert trainers who have experience with LEED projects and are also qualified as LEED faculty by USGBC. Our trainers have hands on experience with LEED certification and practical knowledge of LEED system, thus making them most sought-after trainers in UAE who can explain the concepts more easily.

At GE3S we also provide unlimited Mock-up Exams for LEED GA which means you can practice as much as you want. Once the course is completed and before scheduling as well as appearing for the final LEED GA examination at the Prometric centre, all the trainees can attempt unlimited number of mock-up examins. These exams are similar to the actual LEED GA exam.

Our course material that we provide to the students has been developed after a lot of research and is made available to the students at no extra cost.

Several people land up a job in the industry just by getting these certifications and even without having any prior experience in green design and construction.
