📖 SECTION 1: Introduction to Green Building

Certifications

Green building certifications are rating systems that evaluate the environmental

performance, energy efficiency, and sustainability of buildings. The two most

recognized global standards are LEED (USGBC) and BREEAM (BRE Global).

According to the World Green Building Council, green building-certified projects

reduce energy consumption by an average of 30-50% compared to conventional buildings. As a result, demand for professionals with green building knowledge has

grown by 40% globally between 2020 and 2026.

This training provides an overview of LEED and BREEAM standards, their

requirements, and the certification process. It is designed to help you understand

the principles of green building and prepare for further study or official exams.

grant LEED or BREEAM credentials. It is a preparatory course only.
