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
F F F F F F F F F F F F F
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 F F F F F F F F F F F F
expectations. In order to maintain and improve the quality of contents I need

Why LEED Green Associate Made Easy?
F F F F F
With all due respect, to the Authors of popular study guides in the market, I
F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F
personally feel that these study guides are not very reader friendly. For a
F F F F F F F F F F F F F
working professional who spends 8-10 hrs/day on work, in addition has to
F F F F F F F F F F F F
fulfill his family commitments may not be in a position to read a study
F F F F F F F F F F F F F F
material, which has more than 260 pages with tiny fonts and cramped line
F F F F F F F F F F F F F
spacing. These study guides have very good content, but do not make it
F F F F F F F F F F F F F
interesting for such a busy professional. F F F F F
Following are the special features of LEED Green Associate Made Easy.
F F F F F F F F F F
Specifically designed for working professionals with concise but complete
F F F F F F F F F
contents.
We have improved from the previous versions of our publications by
F F F F F F F F F F F
adding more graphics content F F F
The content of the book is structured by prerequisites and credits of the

preparation for LEED AP specialty exam. F F F F F
Online discussion forum at the end of each chapter, which enables the
