LEED 102: Become a LEED AP and Maintain Your Credential
What are the new LEED AP specialty designations? How will they differ from my current LEED AP status and what are the benefits? What resources are there to help me pass the exam? What are the requirements for maintaining the LEED AP Specialty credentials? If I'm a LEED Green Associate or LEED AP, what do I need to do to maintain my credential?
Come to NEXUS for a 1-hr presentation on the new LEED AP specialty designations and maintaining your LEED Credential. The new specialty exams include: Building Design and Construction (the old NC), Interior Design and Construction (the old CI), Operations and Maintenance (the old EBOM), Homes, and Neighborhood Development. Get answers to the above questions and bring questions of your own.
Refreshments will be served. One (1.0) AIA Sustainable Design CEU will be offered for attending this seminar.

LEED 301: LEED Green Associate Exam Prep
Taught by green building experts, this one-day LEED Green Associate Exam Prep prepares individuals to gain the confidence and knowledge needed to pass the LEED Green Associate exam.
Specifically, this course will:
- Provide a core understanding about the LEED Rating Systems and the Certification process.
- Increase your knowledge of LEED Rating Systems, Certification process, credit categories structure and specific credits.
- Target the most valuable material to memorize for the LEED Green Associate exam through the lens of actual LEED Certified buildings.
NEW! All participants get access to 700 LEED Green Associate practice questions, exam simulator, and a LEED Green Associate Study Guide.
NEW! Register at the discounted rate of $295 for the full day.
Completion of this class meets the GBCI application requirements to take the LEED Green Associate exam. 9.0 AIA/CES Sustainable Design LU are offered for attending this training. All participants receive a certificate of completion that they can use to fulfill continuing education (CE) requirements of other professional certifications and to apply for the LEED Green Associate exam.
Register for the next training on January 21.
LEED 401: LEED & Green Project Management
Taught by green building experts, this one-day course is designed for individuals who want to become experts in LEED© and green building implementation and understand how their expertise best integrates into the process to achieve real value for their projects. At the end of this course, participants will be able to identify and approach their role on LEED© projects in a clear and strategic manner, credit-by-credit and phase-to phase.
Specifically, participants will be able to:
- Set goals for, manage, and implement your LEED© and green building projects from start to finish.
- Integrate the planning, design, construction, and operations phases in order to achieve a comprehension of the green building process.
- Prioritize and achieve your sustainability goals using readily available tools and resources.
- Understand the overarching sustainability principles related to sites, energy, water, products, indoor environmental quality, construction practices, and operations and maintenance.
NEW! Register at the discounted rate of $295 for the full day.
Participants will also receive 8 AIA and GBCI LEED-Specific CE for BD+C, ID+C and O+M. and get access to Project Management tools and exercises.
Register for the next training on January 28.
LEED 521: Energy Modeling & Using eQuest to Achieve LEED EAc1
This two-day hands-on training develops your capacity in energy modeling to achieve LEED EAc1: Optimize Energy Performance – Whole Building Simulation. LEED 521 will provide an overview of Whole Building Simulation analysis, tools, and accuracy issues and discuss the intent, criteria and methodology of LEED EAc1. There will also be an in-depth discussion of ASHRAE 90.1-2007 Appendix G. Based on this foundation, we will delve into specifications, calculations and assumptions of building energy modeling – from documentation climatic zone, envelope to internal loads, HVAC systems to service hot water systems. Finally, the training will use building energy modeling to generate a Performance Rating Method Report for LEED EAc1 submittal, generate graphs of ECM’s and their relative energy savings over “baseline,” and complete the LEED Online EAc1 Template. Real-life exercises in how to use software tools to implement energy modeling.
Seating is limited and registration is first-come, first-serve. Provides 16 GBCI CE hours for LEED Credential Maintenance Program and 16 AIA SD CEU.
