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
