What Does GA Stand For In LEED
GA stands for Green Associate which is a foundational level certification. It equips AEC professionals with skills to implement sustainability in both design and community. However, bear in mind that GA is an acronym that is no longer accepted by USGBC. A professional who has earned the credential will be titled LEED Green Associate and not LEED GA.
WHAT IS LEED GREEN ASSOCIATE ALL ABOUT?
A well recognized accreditation developed by USGBC for professionals to implement green building practices and support the team working on LEED projects. Hence is a professional that designs and executes with sustainable practices. One of the best ways to demonstrate familiarity with green construction in non-technical areas . It showcases that the holder has proven level of knowledge in sustainable design, construction, and operations.
WHAT OTHER LEED CERTIFICATION ARE THERE FOR ARCHITECTS & ENGINEERS?
Since LEED GA is considered the foundation to sustainability, the LEED AP certification provides advanced knowledge in sustainability. Also since LEED only focuses on reducing impact on the environment, the WELL AP certification acts as a complimentary certification to LEED with a focus on the occupant health and well-being.
The LEED Green Associate is the best starting point to learn the basics of green buildings and LEED. Professionals usually take the LEED GA exam first, then LEED AP BD+C and WELL AP for the best learning outcome. The best way to pass the LEED certification exam is using this LEED Green Associate prep course.
