Are you interested in the LEED® green building certification program and the green building movement because of the potential to help solve some of the most difficult problems we face—the threat of climate change, the global shortage of fresh water, and the extinction of plant and animal species? Author Brandon Sigrist was drawn by these same interests to write LEED Ready Green Associate, and inside the pages you will find the BEST techniques to make the challenging process of learning and applying the LEED rating systems easy and effective, while maintaining a sense of the inspiration that brought you here in the first place!
