Green Badger, a cloud-based LEED certification software solution for the construction industry, has announced the launch of Green Badger Academy, an on-demand, e-learning portal bringing green construction education to the market. The self-paced courses provide practical, actionable lessons that help construction professionals go from LEED novice to ninja in less than 2.5 hours.
“Most LEED training is academic—meant to help you pass an exam, not actually manage a green construction project,” says Tommy Linstroth, founder and CEO of Green Badger. “Green Badger Academy is a product of working with hundreds of construction teams to present the knowledge, skills and abilities teams need on a job site to take a project from sitework to final LEED certification.”
Green Badger’s software has helped hundreds of construction teams meet LEED certification goals, and the new Green Badger Academy will complement those efforts for project teams by:
- Elevating the understanding of green construction requirements for consistent application.
- Identifying specific materials, products and brands to use to help earn LEED points.
- Road mapping every construction credit a project team may encounter.
“Ever-changing LEED requirements are difficult to keep up with,” Linstroth adds. “Whether it is for an individual or an entire organization, Green Badger Academy empowers construction professionals to become their own expert in LEED construction.”
