Even though the scope of the LEED AP BD+C exam includes technical terms and principles that may seem confusing at first, the book enables the reader to fully grasp each of them through step-by-step explanations and case studies. As a result, the need for further research and repeated struggle with the same topics is avoided.
As LEED v5 is quite different from previous versions, this book was entirely rewritten rather than updated from a previous edition. All chapters contain guidance on the aspects that require extensive attention, while pointing out finer details to focus on for exam purposes. The case studies throughout the book demonstrate the real-life application of LEED requirements, while the Key Things to Remember sections at the end of each prerequisite and credit flag elements that may seem minor but often appear as exam questions. After finishing the book, readers can use the summary sheets to reinforce knowledge and ensure solid exam preparation.
The book is also recommended for students and professionals who have not chosen to take a LEED professional exam, but nonetheless retain a strong interest in LEED requirements.

"Bottom Line - I passed the LEED AP BD+C exam on my first try (191/200) and this book was the most valuable source for my study. This book is 600+ pages and contains every single bit of information that you need to ace the LEED AP BD+C exam. It breaks down the information very clearly and you don't need to waste time by trying to learn some complicated stuff that are addressed by some of the LEED credits. Studying for the LEED AP exam is not the most exciting thing, but at least this book makes it easy to follow. I would say I was able to concentrate easily reading this book without zoning off. My recommendation is to follow all the advice in the book and review the summary sections well, and you will definitely get a good passing score. Good luck!"

"After having purchased other study guides and not passing the exam, I purchased this study guide and PASSED with a score of 190/200. Very detailed guide but that’s what you need to pass the exam! I highly recommend this study guide above all others."

"I highly recommend this book! Had very limited time and studied for the exam solely using this book, got a 188. The book
explains every concept in simple way that you can really get the idea behind it. 'Things should be simple enough, but not simpler' - as Einstein says. It highlights the things that you need to watch out for during the exam. This feature helped me a lot since I came across with a lot of questions from concepts that would not seem important at all before I read this study guide."
Verified Rating
"This book is very good. It contains a lot of information on the LEED process, the credits and importantly the integrative strategies for LEED building design. The book is well written and lays information out in a clear and concise manner. All important information is highlighted in bold fonts and it's easy to look up later on. This is probably the greatest LEED AP BD+C book out there. All others just seem way to thin and/or poorly written and put together. It's not even boring to read either due to how it's laid out which is really saying something. Highly recommended compared to other books. He uses good language and examples to casually explain items no one would know about like open grid pavement systems, dry ponds and bioswales. I was shocked of how much information is included and how well it was written."
