Green Building & Sustainable Design Professional Program

High-performance buildings and new green construction are fast-becoming the standard in architecture and commercial construction – and for good reason: the amount of energy these buildings can save, the sustainable materials with which they’re put together and the quality of life they’re meant to improve is all aimed at reducing the carbon footprint of the nation’s building stock while increasing the overall health and safety of its occupants. Green building systems like the US Green Building Council’s (USGBC) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program encourage owners and builders to incorporate sustainability principles into their design and retrofit efforts to reduce waste and even reduce costs. All around the country, LEED professionals are helping on construction and retrofit projects in Hospitals, Restaurants and other commercial buildings including some residential properties.

To meet the growing needs for LEED-certified professionals working on these projects, My Ed Today has designed a strategic career track for Green Building & Sustainable Design Professionals. The Program incorporates LEED Green Associate certification preparation with both project management skills, project cost/risk analysis underpinned by foundations in real estate law and more in-depth LEED concepts for specific facility considerations. Students who complete this selection of courses will have a significant leg up over the competition in the growing green and sustainability fields as they pertain to the building sector.
