LEED Green Associate Candidate Handbook for 2010

Posted on 12. Jan, 2010 by Karen Stewart, LEED AP in News

If you are studying to take the GBCI LEED Green Associate exam, you should review the latest candidate handbook.  The biggest change, as of December 2009, is the addition of 3 new primary references to study for the exam.  These can be found under “Primary References” on page 12 of the GBCI Candidate Handbook.  See below for the additions: 

  1. Green Building & LEED Core Concepts Guide, 1st Edition
  2. Green Office Guide: Integrating LEED Into Your Leasing Process
  3. LEED 2009 for New Construction and Major Renovation Rating System (My favorite book!)

To learn more of the new exam requirements, sign up for one of the upcoming LEED Green Associate classes in Northwest Arkansas.
