How should I prepare for the LEED Green Associate exam?
As a candidate for the LEED Green Associate exam, you must have a strong understanding of the integrated approach to green building design and construction, as well as a general knowledge of the principles of sustainable design, especially as they relate to the LEED Green Building Rating System. It is not, however, necessary to memorize the specific details of each credit and prerequisite in the rating systems. Likewise, in-depth knowledge of reference standards and green technologies is not required. The LEED Green Associate exam assesses your understanding of the LEED certification process, familiarity with the terminology used in the rating systems, and ability to contribute to a LEED project team. With that in mind, we recommend you use the following material in your LEED Green Associate exam prep: • LEED® Prep GA: What You Really Need to Know to Pass the LEED Green Associate Exam PPI, Leppo, 2009, Paperback ISBN: 978-1-59126-178-0 • LEED® GA Practice Exams: Green Associate P
