Lead The Way In Green Building!

Demand is growing for Trades professionals who have expertise in sustainable construction practices. Now is the time to take your knowledge and skill to the next level.

Through HÂþ»­’s Green Building Principles microcredential, you’ll gain an understanding of green building standards like LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), setting yourself apart as a leader in the industry.

Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) and supported in Canada by the Canada Green Building Council (CaGBC), LEED® certification is recognized worldwide as the gold standard for sustainable building practices.

Whether you’re on-site, in the office, or managing entire projects, this focused course will give you a strong foundation in the concepts and practices you need to write the LEED® Green Associate exam.
