LEED AP BD+C V4 Exam Complete Study Guide (Building Design & Construction)

by A Togay Koralturk

Overview

PASS THE LEED AP BD+C EXAM WITH FLYING COLORS!

The LEED AP BD+C V4 Exam Complete Study Guide aims to provide deep insight into the LEED requirements and the certification process and helps the reader to learn, rather than to memorize, all the essential information for the exam. This approach equips candidates to successfully pass the LEED AP BD+C exam with flying colors in order to actively apply the LEED requirements in real-life projects.

This book is designed to be the only resource a candidate would need to successfully pass the exam. Even though the scope of the LEED AP BD+C exam includes heavy technical terms and principles that may seem confusing at first, the book enables the reader to fully grasp the information by simply demonstrating it. As a result, the need for further research and struggle on the same topic is avoided, and the candidate will be equipped with solid knowledge to coordinate LEED projects in real life.

As LEED v4 is quite different from former versions, the book is entirely written for LEED v4 and is not updated from a previous edition. All of the chapters contain strong guidance on the aspects that require extensive attention while the book points out the finer details to focus on for exam purposes. The case studies throughout the book demonstrate the real-life application of LEED requirements, and the Key Things to Remember sections at the end of each prerequisite/credit point out those elements that may seem not so important but may be encountered as questions on the exam. With the completion of the book, the reader can use the summary sheets to reinforce knowledge and ensure solid exam preparation.

• Pass the LEED AP BD+C exam with flying colors!
• Thoroughly understand and apply the LEED requirements

• Avoid the need for researching and struggling on the same topics

• Know all the important things to consider during the exam beforehand

The book is also recommended for students, professionals, and anyone who has not chosen to take an LEED professional exam, but nonetheless retains a strong interest in LEED and green buildings.
