Allied's Green Building Practices course introduces the fundamental concepts of green building design and delivery, as well as the various systems used in green buildings. You'll be prepared to apply green principles and reasoning to management decisions, practical design and implementation procedures.

The opportunities within the sustainable building industry are abundant. According to the U.S. Green Building Council, U.S., buildings account for: 72% of electricity consumption, 39% of energy use, 100% Tuition Assistance for Active Duty (for most programs) 38% of all carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, 40% of raw materials use, 30% of waste output, and 14% of potable water consumption. Green building solutions are going to change the face of residential and commercial building, creating new and innovative career potential.

Allied’s Green Building Practices course is appropriate for both those seeking to become a LEED Green Associate, or new LEED Green Associates seeking a deeper level of green building training. While the course introduces fundamental concepts of green building design and delivery, as well as the various systems used in green buildings, it also lays a solid foundation that the student can use to test any of the decisions that have to be made in designing and constructing a green building, from materials selection to considering the use of natural systems for wastewater processing. The course addresses both institutional and residential structures and emphasis is placed on understanding practical working systems used in the structures. Several certification programs are briefly addressed from within the context of understanding how they affect building design decisions. The last module addresses cost/benefit analyses so the student will be able to write justification proposals for green building projects.

Prepare for your post-military career in the green building industry in as little as 24 weeks. Allied's convenient distance education courses are convenient and flexible, and adapt to your busy military schedule. Upon successful completion of the course, Allied Business Schools will award you one certificate.
