LEED and LEED AP exam guidance by GE3S


LEED or Leadership in Environmental design is a third-party green building rating system developed by USGBC and GBCI. USGBC stands for United State Green Building Council and the GBCI stands for Green Building Certification Institute. The GBCI also provides professional credentials like LEED GA and LEED AP. The LEED rating system has 5 types of guidelines the first one is called the LEED BD+C, the next is LEED ID+C followed by LEED Homes, EED BD, and LEED O+M. LEED BD+C is for design and construction. LEED ID+C is for interior design and construction. LEED homes are for small buildings/homes. LEED-ND is for neighborhood development. LEED O+M is for operation and maintenance of buildings. For all these types USGBC issues speciality LEED AP credential. LEED GA  is a prerequisite for obtaining LEED AP credential.


The LEED guideline has seven categories starting with Sustainable sites, that have 1 prerequisite and 8 credits, then comes the water efficiency which has 1 prerequisite and 3 credits, followed by Energy and atmosphere, then material and resources then Indoor environmental quality, next is innovation and the last is regional priorities. Becoming a LEED GA or LLEED AP requires understanding of all these categories and the credits and prerequisites that are covered in these categories. The rating system has four certification levels. You get your building certified with 40 to 49 points, followed by silver rating for 50 to 59, then comes the gold rating for 60 to 79 and the last is platinum rating that is achieved on securing 80 + points under the LEED system. GE3S provides training for LEED GA and LEED AP for students as well as professionals throughout the year.
