Gainesville, Fla. — The National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER) “Your Role in the Green Environment” curriculum has been updated to include LEED Version 3 and a Training Course Study Guide: Preparation for Green Advantage® Exam. This guide will assist students and practitioners in their preparations for the Green Advantage® Commercial/Residential Certification Exam.
Additional enhancements to the updated green module now includes a list of common acronyms used in the green building; updated statistics; revised and updated review and test questions; and a “Green Jobs” Initiative Framework chart. Additionally, the LEED for New Construction Project Checklist is now based on a 100-point model.
Because green building is consistently changing, “the latest LEED 2009 version has been incorporated with easier access to rating system information at a glance,” said Sue Norman, LEED AP, Green Advantage® instructor. “A Green Advantage® review section has also been incorporated making exam preparation even easier. Most importantly, the revisions keep the module up to speed with the changes in green building.”
Your Role in the Green Environment is also available in an e-book version through NCCER’s online curricula, Contren® Connect. For more information on the e-book version and all green updates, visit the online catalog at
