, Preamble
LEED Green Associate Made Easy was first published in Jan 2011 as a free
study guide and subsequently revised in Oct 2012 and November 2013
based on the feedback from candidates. It was very well received in the
market more than 4000 Professionals have downloaded it. We have
received very good feedback from the candidates. With the launch of LEED
V4, we have the responsibility to improve the contents of the study guide
to meet the expectations. In order to maintain and improve the quality of
contents I need take support from my colleagues as well. As more effort
and time are required on V4.
Why LEED Green Associate Made Easy?
With all due respect, to the Authors of popular study guides in the market, I
personally feel that these study guides are not very reader friendly. For a
working professional who spends 8-10 hrs/day on work, in addition has to
fulfill his family commitments may not be in a position to read a study
material, which has more than 260 pages with tiny fonts and cramped line
spacing. These study guides have very good content, but do not make it
interesting for such a busy professional.
Following are the special features of LEED Green Associate Made Easy.
Specifically designed for working professionals with concise but
complete contents.
We have improved from the previous versions of our publications by
adding more graphics content
, The content of the book is structured by prerequisites and credits of the
LEED Rating system. This will help the candidates to extend their
preparation for LEED AP specialty exam.
Online discussion forum at the end of each chapter, which enables the
readers to clarify all their doubts by discussing with the author’s.
Online version of the book is also available if the reader prefers to read
using pc/laptops/android devices
LEED Green Associate Made easy along with practice questions are
sufficient to crack the examination
I would be pleased to hear your feedback & comments. Please feel free to
contact me at
Good Luck for the examination!
