AGC’s Building to LEED for New Construction course provides an overview of green building and an in–depth look at the contractor’s role on a LEED v3 project, focusing on the information contractors need to know to effectively and efficiently build green buildings. In mid–2009 the U.S. Green Building Council® released an update to the system with LEED 2009. This system, changes to LEED Online, and new certification processes make up the new LEED v3.

- Define the role of buildings and their impact on the environment
- Identify the major changes in LEED for New Construction, from LEED v2.2 to LEED 2009
- Differentiate the credit categories in the LEED for New Construction rating system
