LEED Green Associate Exam Guide: Comprehensive Study Materials, Sample Questions, Mock Exam, Green Building LEED Certification, and Sustainability, 3rd Edition Description
Pass the LEED Green Associate Exam, Get Your Building LEED Certified, Fight Global Warming and Save Money!
Starting on December 1, 2011, GBCI began to draw LEED Green Associate Exam questions from the second edition of Green Building and LEED Core Concepts Guide. We have incorporated this latest information in our book, and changed our book title to LEED Green Associate Exam Guide.
LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is one of the most important trends of development and is revolutionizing the construction industry. It has gained tremendous momentum and has a profound impact on our environment.
From this book, you will learn how to:
1. Pass the LEED Green Associate Exam.
2. Use LEED exam preparation strategies, study methods, tips, suggestions, mnemonics, and exam tactics to improve your exam performance.
3. Effectively understand, digest, and retain your LEED knowledge.
4. Understand the process of registering and certifying a building for LEED.
5. Understand the scope, main intent, core concepts and strategies, as well as identify the regulations, recognition, and incentives for each major LEED category.
6. Identify the strategies for case studies.
7. Identify the synergy in case studies.
8. Implement the most important LEED related codes and building standards.
9. Get points for categories not yet clearly defined by the USGBC.
This book fills in the blanks and demystifies LEED. It uncovers the secrets, codes, and jargon for LEED as well as the true meaning of "going green." It provides a solid foundation and fundamental framework for LEED. It covers every major aspect of LEED in plain and concise language, and introduces it to ordinary people. This guide is small and easy to carry around. You can read it whenever you have a few extra minutes. It is an indispensable book for ordinary people, developers, brokers, contractors, administrators, architects, landscape architects, civil, structural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineers, interns, drafters, designers and other design professionals.
What others are saying about "LEED Green Associate Exam Guide"...(Part I)
"Finally! A comprehensive study tool for LEED Green Associate Prep!
"I took the 1-day Green LEED Green Associate course and walked away with a power point binder printed in very small print-which was missing MUCH of the required information (although I didn't know it at the time). I studied my little heart out and took the test, only to fail it by 1 point. Turns out I did NOT study all the material I needed to in order to pass the test. I found this book, read it, marked it up, retook the test, and passed it with a 95%. Look, we all know the LEED Green Associate exam is new and the resources for study are VERY limited. This one's the VERY best out there right now. I highly recommend it."

Does your book have too much information for LEED Green Associate Exam?
Other books on LEED GA Exam will become almost useless instantly once you pass the exam because they are NOT designed as a reference book, while my book, "LEED Green Associate Exam Guide" (3rd Edition, ISBN: 9780984374137), is an exam guide AND a LEED reference book.
If you feel my book has too much information, there is a very simple solution:
When you read the technical section of my book, start each credit category by reading the summary table and mnemonics at the end of each credit category. This way, you have a very clear "road map" (the summary table) and will not get caught up in the technical details and get lost. You can focus on the "Credit Path" portions of each prerequisite and credit and read them 2 or 3 times...You should be able to pass the LEED Green Associate Exam easily and on the first try...

FOREWORD:
My review was originally posted in October 2011. However, I consented to the author's request (via personal email) for it to be removed because it was "hurting book sales." Instead of using the criticism to improve the book, the author made no changes since then. In retrospect, if the author truly believed in his product and its ability to help others, he would neither focus on sales nor make requests for negative reviews to be removed. Therefore, I am compelled to re-post my review to share my unbiased opinion.
REVIEW:
For the LEED GA exam, because the information covered is an overall approach to LEED, it is more efficient and cost effective to use a study guide as your primary source rather than force through the detailed, dry materials provided by the USGBC. Granted that all exam questions come from USGBC material, it's a waste of time to try and master every detail. Remember, the test is only 100 questions, so it's best to understand the general concepts and big picture items.
I received a copy of the "LEED GA Exam Guide" to review AFTER passing the exam. Having previously reviewed several other guides as well as the USGBC study guide, it was interesting to see the comparisons.
Pros:
1. Provides clear introduction for those unfamiliar with LEED and in the dark about sustainable design.
2. Content follows a coherent flow.
3. Language is straight forward and easy to understand.
4. Offers basic study tips and strategies using mnemonics.
5. Contains several practice exams and sample questions.
6. Good preparation and transition for Tier II (LEED AP) exams.
Cons:
1. One of the larger guides out there in terms of pages.
2. Layout and editing of content is distracting and confusing.
