USGBC Launches Web Training Course

The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) has partnered with Turner Construction to launch the USGBC’s first Web-based training course designed to educate building industry professionals about Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Accreditation requirements.

The three-hour online course entitled “Essentials of LEED Professional Accreditation” includes selected case studies, interactive learning exercises and a practice exam.

The interactive course follows the Sienna Hills Library Project team as they delve into the LEED credit categories and prerequisite requirements. Divided into seven lessons, the course covers topics including the LEED rating system, coordinating a LEED project during design and construction, managing the LEED certification process and verifying that a project meets LEED requirements.

The course is available for purchase through the USGBC Products & Services catalog under “Workshops” and “Web Based Learning.” The coast of the course is $150 for USGBC members and $200 for nonmembers. After purchase, the course is available for 60 days.
