Corporate Training By Zack Academy - Introduction to the LEED V4 Rating Systems

Why Should You Take This Introduction to the LEED V4 Rating Systems course?

Prepare yourself for the new LEED rating system! This Introduction to the LEED V4 Rating Systems course highlights the major differences in terms of new credit categories, credits & prerequisites, reference standards and processes between LEED 2009 (the current version) and LEED Version 4.0 (the latest public comment draft). This course enables a building professional to better position themselves to adapt to the changes in USGBC's LEED green building rating system.

This introductory workshop is highly recommended for Canadian audiences. Participants will gain a foundational grasp of the major changes, and explore the impact of LEED v4 on Canadians. Learners will gain a broad understanding of LEED v4 and an in-depth perspective of the system goals. They will discover how these concepts are visible in all parts of the LEED v4 rating system. Other system revisions are covered, including increased performance requirements, a new credit and credit category, and new and improved tools for use in the certification process. Participants will also learn how projects can ultimately benefit from the Canadian Alternative Compliance Paths (ACPs) that are currently under development.
