USGBC Georgia Chapter
 gbcga2c_horiz

The U.S. Green Building Council-Georgia Chapter (USGBC-Georgia) was formed to advance and promote sustainable and environmentally responsible planning, design, construction and operation of Georgia's buildings, landscapes, cities and communities.  The Georgia State Chapter operates Branches in the Atlanta, Augusta, Macon (central Georgia) and Savannah territory areas.

Georgia has over 135 LEED Certified buildings, 890 LEED Registered buildings, and over 4,300 LEED Accredited Professionals (LEED APs) - making Georgia one of the strongest states in the U.S. with regards to sustainable development and green building. Over 500 companies from Georgia are National Member companies of USGBC further demonstrating the strength of the market.

WHAT IS LEED?

The U.S. Green Building Council developed LEED, an internationally recognized green building certification system, to provide third-party verification that a building or community was designed and built using strategies aimed at improving performance across all the metrics that matter most: energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental quality, and stewardship of resources and sensitivity to their impacts. LEED provides building owners and operators a concise framework for identifying and implementing practical and measurable green building design, construction, operations and maintenance solutions. 

Currently 34 states, 12 federal agencies, more than 200 localities and  50,000 projects have all chosen LEED.  There are over 140,000 LEED Accredited Professionals (LEED APs) in the United States.

LEED Green Associate Acceditation

Exam Prep Workshop

COMING APRIL 8th

 

USGBC-Georgia and Southface Energy Institute have teamed up to bring Georgia a LEED Green Associate Accreditation Exam Prep Workshop.

This is the only Green Associate exam prep workshop in Georgia being taught by both USGBC LEED Faculty who are fully accredited and trained to offer this type of education and Southface Energy Institute Faculty who have a long and successful history of delivering quality environmental education programs in the Southeast. 

The full day course offers an overview of the LEED framework, concepts of integrated design, as well as

policies and procedures for working within the LEED program.   Attendees learn of the resources available

and gain an understanding of sustainable design strategies in the built environment for site management,

water use, energy use, resource management, and indoor environmental quality.  

 

Successfully passing the LEED Green Associate exam is the fist step to becoming a LEED Accredited Professional.
