The LEED Green Associate Certificate recognizes specialized knowledge of green building principles and one’s achievement and commitment to supporting green building design, construction and operations. The Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Rating Systems promote sustainable building and development practices by recognizing projects that implement strategies for better environmental and health performance. An internationally-recognized green building certification system, LEED is flexible and applies to all building types.

LEED Green Professionals are a driving force behind the green building movement and are distinguished as a leader and a resource for others seeking to achieve their sustainability goals.
