What Is the LEED AP BD+C Credential?
The LEED AP BD+C (Building Design and Construction) is the advanced professional credential offered by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) and administered by Green Business Certification Inc. (GBCI). It demonstrates advanced knowledge of green building principles and the technical expertise to apply the LEED BD+C rating systems to new construction and major renovation projects.
The credential is recognized internationally and signals to employers, clients, and project teams that you have the skills to lead LEED-certified projects from design through construction. It's designed for architects, engineers, contractors, consultants, project managers, and other professionals actively involved in the design and construction of sustainable buildings.
What Are the Prerequisites to Take the LEED AP BD+C Exam?
The only requirement to take the LEED AP BD+C exam is holding the LEED Green Associate credential. You must pass the LEED Green Associate exam first before sitting for the LEED AP BD+C specialty exam.
What Is the Best Way to Study for the LEED AP BD+C Exam?
The best way to study for the LEED AP BD+C exam is to follow a structured plan that combines four core elements: an expert-led video course to learn the full exam scope through visual instruction, a comprehensive study guide to reinforce and reference key concepts, full-length practice exams to test your knowledge under real exam conditions, and flashcards and study sheets for quick review of key concepts and terms.
Projectific's LEED AP BD+C Complete Exam Prep Pack brings all four together in a single, structured program — used by thousands of candidates worldwide and backed by our Passing Score Guarantee. It's the most efficient way to go from zero to exam-ready.
How Much Does It Cost to Take the LEED AP BD+C Exam?
If you are already a LEED Green Associate, the LEED AP BD+C specialty exam costs $350 for the general public and $250 for USGBC members.
If you are taking the combined exam (LEED Green Associate + LEED AP BD+C) in one sitting, the cost is $550 for the general public and $400 for USGBC members.
How Difficult Is the LEED AP BD+C Exam?
The LEED AP BD+C exam is more challenging than the LEED Green Associate exam. While the LEED Green Associate exam focuses on foundational knowledge, the LEED AP BD+C exam evaluates a candidate's ability at three cognitive levels: recall (factual information), application (applying LEED principles to scenarios), and analysis (breaking down problems and evaluating credit relationships).
Candidates who follow a structured study plan with comprehensive materials consistently report passing on their first attempt.
What Is the Passing Score for the LEED AP BD+C Exam?
The passing score for the LEED AP BD+C exam is 170 out of 200. The exam is scored on a scale of 125 to 200, and you need 170 or higher to pass. If you are taking the combined exam, you must score 170 or higher on both the LEED Green Associate portion and the LEED AP BD+C portion.
The exam contains both scored and unscored questions — unscored questions are used by GBCI to test future exam content and don't count toward your score. Because test-takers don't know which questions are scored, there is no fixed number of correct answers required to pass.

What Topics Are Covered on the LEED AP BD+C Exam?

The exam covers the following knowledge domains:
- LEED Process

- Location and Transportation
- Sustainable Sites

A 10-minute software tutorial is offered before the exam, and a 10-minute optional exit survey follows it — neither is counted toward your testing time.
