Green Building Certifications: The Romania Green Building Council supports the development and implementation of the World Green Building Council national members with internationally recognized rating tools (LEED, BREEAM, DGNB, etc). RoGBC is also partner with USGBC assisting to internationalize the LEED rating tool to facilitate its use in Romania and the region. RoGBC member company Triple Green Building Group, a USGBC-approved Education Delivery Partner, will offer a low-cost series of two LEED workshops.

This workshop is intended for those who are new to green building and looking to learn the basics of green building and LEED. The workshop offers an introduction to USGBC, green building principles and the fundamentals of the LEED Rating System.

LEED is a third-party certification program and an accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high-performance green buildings. LEED gives building owners and operators the tools they need to have an immediate and measurable impact on their building performance. LEED promotes a whole-building approach to sustainability by recognizing performance in five key areas of human and environmental health: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality.
