Are you interested in becoming a LEED Project Manager?

Unleash your potential with a USGBC Faculty member and elevate your career in sustainable building practices with our immersive GBRI LEED Project Management training course. Spearheaded by Jeslin Varghese—a seasoned LEED AP, WELL AP, PMP, and a USGBC Faculty—this 7-week training course is designed to transform your sustainability career trajectory.

Jeslin Varghese brings to the table extensive experience managing LEED & green building projects for both private and government agencies across India, Taiwan, the Middle East, and the United States. His wealth of knowledge as both a sustainability consultant and project management professional, coupled with his current role as the Director of Project Controls at the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) in New York City, provide a unique, practical perspective to the course.

GBRI’s LEED Project Management training is firmly rooted in the core principles of Climate Change, Social Equity, and Green Building, offering an immersive and comprehensive learning experience. The course now provides two distinct paths tailored to cater to the needs of both LEED Green Associates and LEED APs. This enhanced structure enables students to engage in a real LEED v4 BD+C project, while also accruing up to 30 CE hours through self-study and curated on-demand courses.

Participants will use a live LEED project as a practical framework, delving into the fundamentals of LEED project management and exploring key aspects of project planning and execution. Activities include creating a LEED roadmap and schedule using Microsoft Project, crafting a LEED responsibility matrix, planning and conducting a sustainability charrette, and performing sample LEED credit calculations.

Additionally, participants will enhance their understanding of LEED v4.1 through GBRI’s LEED v4 technical study series and explore crucial topics such as biophilia, daylighting, ESG, and energy modeling. This comprehensive approach equips participants with a robust understanding of managing LEED projects, thereby enhancing their professional development and boosting their sustainability career trajectory.

Moreover, students will also address occupant wellness along with environmental sustainability by highlighting LEED credits that complement the WELL rating system. This holistic approach to sustainability ensures that future LEED project managers are well equipped to handle the multifaceted nature of green building projects.

What to expect?

In this meticulously designed 7-session course, each meeting is conducted as a charrette, fostering a collaborative environment that encourages brainstorming strategies tailored for a live LEED v4 BD+C project. Coupled with self-study components, this interactive approach equips participants to deepen their knowledge and sharpen their project management skills.
