9. LEED’s Adopted Cousin

10. Who is LEED’s Adopted Cousin?
For the purposes of this presentation, you may consider
Certified Sustainability Manager – aka CSM
to be the adopted cousin of LEED. The learning objectives for LEED and CSM are
similar, and we often see crossover in students taking both courses.

Certified Sustainability Manager
• Define “Sustainability”
• Understand the Factors Driving Sustainability
• Learn the History of Sustainability
• Discuss Reporting Metrics and Organizations
* Students will complete an Everblue exam at the conclusion of this course. Upon
passage of this exam, students will receive a certificate – not a certification.
