LEED AP Building Design + Construction (BD+C)

LEED for Building Design and Construction covers New Construction, Core & Shell, and Schools under LEED 2009. The focus is on institutional, commercial, & large-scale residential projects with modifications that dealt with shortcomings from previous versions. Developed by U.S Green Building Council, LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) is the universally accepted green building rating system and covers all elements of building construction including: project site, water consumption, energy, materials, air quality, and design innovation.
