A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome :
LEED Training and Accreditation
In July 2012 the Office of Sustainability began offering a seven-week class to prepare AU staff to take the LEED Green Associate exam. The course is typically offered twice per year and, to date, 60 staff members from Facilities Management, the Office of the University Architect, the Office of Sustainability, the Washington College of Law, and others have participated.
In all, 17 AU staff members have earned the LEED Green Associate accreditation and 6 have earned the LEED AP with specialty (BD+C, O+M, or ID+C) credential.
"LEED Green Associate" is a professional accreditation through the Green Building Certification Institute (GBCI) for people who work on green buildings, and demonstrates that the accreditation-holder has a working knowledge of green design, construction and operations, and of the LEED rating systems.
