It   is   important   that   the   region  begins   to   introduce  ways   to   save  energy,   water,   materials   and   be  more  sustainable  in  general  and  in  future   projects.   A   project   can   be  8mes  more   efficient   if   the   design  team   and   contractor   come  together  at  an  early  stage  and  form  design  strategies  to  be  sustainable  and  save  money.

The   LEED   GA   online   course   and  examina8on   has   created   greater  awareness  about  the  ways  in  which  buildings  can  affect   environmental  change   and   therefore   affect  sustainable   living.   It   also   provided  the   knowledge   required   to   be   a  more  responsible  user   and   in  turn  affect   the   way   others   design,  construct  and  use  buildings.

Kevin Devonish

The   programme   surpassed   all  my  expecta8ons,   LEED   GA   does  something   unique,   by   breaking  down   the   design   process   in   to  simple   obvious   components   and  focusing   on   real   solu8ons   for  reducing   our   environmental  impact.   The   programme  was  well  done   and   I   would   and   wil l  recommend   it   to   any   person  involved  in  the  design  process.
