The guide provided a good background for further studying. I was a little surprised by the minimal amount of content in the guide. The graphs were a little difficult to read because they would pick one color is 7 different shades to display information. However, I enjoyed the strategies sections and thought they were helpful in providing applicable guidance in green building.

A very brief overview of LEED concepts with examples and photos. The text does not get into specifics and would not really be helpful for the exam. I think it could serve more as an overview for educating other people about a LEED project or building they may be living or working within.

I read this as part of a LEED GA exam prep class. After reading this, I have a great overview of the LEED program, but specifics are lacking. I felt like this book was extremely vague.

[Teal Verus]

Great introduction to green buildings.

[Grace Wasyluk]

studying or whatever but also pretty general knowledge

[Hunter Radecki]

Surface level sustainability and systems thinking topics.

Very surface-level, but I guess that's why it's called an introduction.
