Carbon Mitigation Playbook for Next-Generation LEED Buildings
GreenCE’s mission is to support the necessary transition to a sustainable built environment by empowering design professionals to address the environmental, economic, and social impacts of buildings. GreenCE’s course catalog includes LEED exam preparation, continuing education to maintain your AIA or LEED credential, as well as specialty education focused on topics such as ADA/Barrier-Free requirements. We are committed to designing the highest quality continuing education programs in the construction industry.
You're standing at the intersection of design and destiny. With buildings generating 40% of global carbon emissions, every material you specify and system you design shapes our planet's future. This intensive course transforms that responsibility into opportunity, equipping architects, engineers, and interior designers with practical decarbonization strategies for LEED v4.1. From assessing embodied carbon to developing operational reduction pathways through energy efficiency and renewable integration, you'll gain immediately applicable knowledge that works for both new construction and renovations. Leave with a holistic framework for carbon reduction across the building lifecycle and actionable strategies you can deploy immediately. The climate crisis won't wait, and neither should your expertise.
- Review embodied carbon in materials and systems, applying reduction strategies aligned with LEED v4.1 BD+C and ID+C credits
- Develop operational carbon reduction strategies using energy modeling and efficiency measures for LEED v4.1 BD+C and ID+C energy performance credits
- Examine strategies to reduce embodied carbon supporting LEED v4.1 BD+C and ID+C strategies
- Evaluate decarbonization pathways to identify cost-effective, high-impact strategies suited to different building types and project contexts
