LEED v5 for Cities and Communities

This course offers a comprehensive introduction to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design® (LEED®) for Cities and Communities. As the world’s population becomes more concentrated in urban areas, cities and communities encounter increasingly complex challenges, including climate change, resource shortages, and social inequalities. The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) for Cities and Communities offers a structured approach to tackle these issues by encouraging sustainable, resilient, and equitable development in urban areas. Created by the U.S. Green Building Council® (USGBC®), this certification system assesses cities and communities on essential performance metrics such as energy use, water management, waste handling, transportation systems, and social equity. By aligning local development efforts with global sustainability objectives, LEED for Cities and Communities enables municipalities to improve residents’ quality of life while reducing their environmental footprint. This training delves into the principles, advantages, and strategies for implementing the LEED for Cities and Communities framework, emphasizing its crucial role in fostering a sustainable urban future.
