All chapters contain guidance on the aspects that require extensive attention, while pointing out finer details to focus on for exam purposes. The case studies throughout the book demonstrate the real-life application of LEED requirements, while the Key Things to Remember sections at the end of each prerequisite and credit flag elements that may seem minor but often appear as exam questions. After finishing the book, readers can use the summary sheets to reinforce knowledge and ensure solid exam preparation.The book is also recommended for students and professionals who have not chosen to take a LEED professional exam, but nonetheless retain a strong interest in LEED requirements.*LEED and USGBC are registered trademarks of the U.S. Green Building Council.
