New York, NY (PRWEB) July 6, 2009 -- CleanEdison, a national green building consulting and education

Specialty requirements. CleanEdison has also expanded its public LEED Exam Prep courses __title__
CleanEdison LEED Exam Prep to 45 cities. Obtaining the LEED AP designation gives professionals and
organizations the opportunity to take advantage of the more than $8.5 billion available today in sustainable
building Federal RFPs. CleanEdison helps corporations and individuals to prepare for and meet the requirements
of becoming a LEED Accredited Professional (AP) as mandated by the United States Green Building Council
(USGBC).
LEED Version 3.0 introduces the new LEED Green Associate (GA) accreditation, which professionals must pass
before pursuing a LEED AP specialty. Individuals must meet one of three prerequisites to take the Green
Associate exam - these include having previous experience supporting a LEED registered project, working in a
sustainable field, or attending an education program that addresses green building principles. CleanEdison's Green
Associate prep course fulfills this requirement.
Additionally, because the demand for sustainable projects has increased sharply over the past few years, the
USGBC transitioned from LEED AP version 2.2 to LEED 2009 version 3.0. This latest version is a more difficult
exam and emphasizes stronger requirements for buildings to obtain LEED certification. In response, CleanEdison
now offers LEED exam prep courses for all LEED AP specialties, including Homes, Interior Design and
Construction, Building Design and Construction, Operations and Management, and Neighborhood Development.
