The Problem
The Great Reshuffle presents a unique opportunity to tackle the most urgent challenge facing humanity: climate change. We have to enable the green transition and activate the jobs, companies and policies that power it. But we face a number of challenges. The green economy needs to grow faster. In 2021, less than 1% of hiring involved Green jobs, and half involved jobs with no green skills at all.

There’s also a supply and demand problem on the horizon. Currently, the demand for green jobs matches the supply of people with those skills. But projections show that in 5 years time, demand will outstrip supply, meaning there is an urgent need for our workforce to level-up green skills.

At the current pace, demand for workers with green skills will surpass supply Demand determined from share of green job postings. Supply determined from the share of members who have skills for green jobs.

Most of the questions in the LEED Green Associate exam involve applied and critical thinking, which is important to have a thorough understanding of concepts instead of just memorizing.

Read the exam paper carefully. and check all your answers twice. Use the ‘Mark’ button to flag questions you're not sure about. Since you get 2 hrs to complete 100 questions, you can always come back to the ‘marked’ questions after you’re done.

Also, often the LEED Green Associate exam will try to trick you by sneaking in an important word like “not” or “isn’t”. Read each question carefully so you don’t misunderstand them.

Take a look at the Green Associate handbook found on the GBCI website. The handbook contains important information about what's covered in the exam, as well as test taking policies. also, you have the GBRI to help you with the study materials.

You can never take enough practice tests. Take loads of them (and more!) to ensure you have a fair idea of the actual test content. And they also teach you to slow down and read much more carefully.

It is very important to memorize all numbers related to Minimum Program Requirements (MPRs).

You should have in-depth knowledge of the four ASHRAE standards used in LEED

ASHRAE 90.1-Energy
ASHREA 55-Thermal Comfort
ASHRAE 52.2-Air Filters
ASHRAE 62.1-Ventilation

if there's more than one right answer to a multiple choice question, just go with the ‘best’ answer. For instance, implementing a concept that reduces carbon emissions will be a better answer than the one that promotes the local economy or saves water.

a project that is LEED Certified and a LEED certified project are different. the capital “C” in Certified, means project has met all MPRs, Prerequisites, and earned 40-49 LEED credits. but a lowercase “c” in certified means it has earned any certification level.

Before you start the two-hour exam, you get 10 minutes to familiarize yourself with the testing controls along with a scrap paper and a pen. Take those precious ten minutes to recall everything you’ve memorized.

Please note that the USGBC has a pool of 1000+ questions out of which they frame their 100-question exams, so no two exams will look the same. The USGBC does not share its database of questions with anyone. You are required to score 170 out of 200 points in order to pass the LEED Green Associate Exam and will receive the results at the test center immediately following the test.

So all the best for your LEED Green Associate exam! We are hopeful that with the right amount of will, effort and guidance, you will be able to pass with flying colors and do your bit to make this world a better place to live in!
