The U.S. Green Building Council is offering four courses geared toward LEED Safety First pilot credits.

USGBC designed these credits in response to the evolving health challenges related to COVID-19. The courses include a combination of videos, podcasts, and resources to help with pilot credit implementation.

The courses educate students on the four credits:

· Managing Indoor Air Quality During COVID-19

· Re-entering Your Workspace

· Cleaning and Disinfecting Your Space

· Building Water System Recommissioning

All four pilot credits are available for LEED 2009, LEED v4, and LEED v4.1. In addition, Arc Re-Entry can also be used by projects to help facility teams analyze and communicate recovery efforts.
