Workshops will cover the residential and non-residential sections of the CalGreen Code and will include information for both the plan check and field -inspection components. This workshop will be further customized by the City. LEED Green Associate Classes This workshop is intended for anyone who wants a basic understanding of LEED - including those with a stake in their community's building practices, those directly involved in green building projects, and those pursuing the LEED GA credential. The classes provide essential knowledge of sustainable building concepts that are fundamental to all LEED Rating Systems. It begins with a brief background on the U.S. Green Building Council and LEED, including basics of the building certification process. The workshops present LEED requirements and exam concepts at each credit category level — across building types and rating systems. Key LEED metrics and LEED referenced standards are addressed throughout the workshop. This workshop is designed to prepare participants for the LEED GA exam. 1
