</span></span><span style="color: #ff6600;"><span style="color: #666666;">This one day workshop prepares you to pass Part 1 of the LEED Accredited Professional Exam - LEED Green Associate. The Green Associate credential is essential for anyone who wants to prove their familiarity with the green building industry and </span><span style="color: #666666; text-decoration: underline;">mandatory</span><span style="color: #666666;"> for anyone planning to purse the LEED AP+ Specialty designation. <br />
<br />
Participants will receive an eligibility certificate to take the LEED Green Associate exam upon completion of this course.</span></span><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: #ff6600;"><br />
<br />
LEED AP+ Building Design & Construction (BD&C) Exam Training<br />
</span></span><span style="color: #ff6600;"><span style="color: #666666;">Replacing the LEED AP for New Construction exam track, this specialty provides a standard for professionals participating in the design and construction phases of high-performance, healthful, durable, affordable and environmentally sound buildings. This workshop prepares you for Part II of the LEED Accredited Professional Exam and covers in detail every LEED prerequisite and credit, the mechanics of LEED, basic green building methods and systems likely to appear on the exam.<br />
<br />
Please be aware you must have verifiable LEED project experience within the last three years to sit for this exam. Certified or registered LEED project experience applies. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff9933; font-weight: bold;">Combine Your Training</span><br />
If you have LEED project experience, but hold <span style="text-decoration: underline;">no LEED accreditation</span>, the KY USGBC is offering the opportunity for you to prepare for both of these exams at a discounted rate.. <br />
<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">You must pass both Part I (LEED Green Associate) and Part II (LEED AP+ specialty) to earn the LEED AP+ credential.</span><br />
<br />
Passing the LEED Green Associate Exam, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">even for experienced LEED practitioners</span>, is not a forgone conclusion. Please be prepared the first time. <br />

At the heart of the solutions available is the concept of low-carbon buildings. Roaf’s talk defines what these are and how we can help them to happen.

She spent 10 years in the Middle East studying the <span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:Georgia;">Windcatchers of Yazd, living with nomads and excavating in Iraq.

She recently chaired international conferences on solar cities, carbon counting, architectural education, thermal comfort, and post-occupancy evaluation.
