The New Jersey School of Architecture has taken the lead in preparing building designers to design green buildings with sustainable design strategies. Sustainability is an integral focus of environmental, economic, and socially responsible design that is increasingly being embraced by the business community. The Graduate Certificate in Sustainable Design recognizes the U.S. Green Building Council LEED Guidelines in setting sustainability goals and notes the Council’s actions that are transforming the market. As of June 2008 over 5700 design firms are members of the US Green Building Council and there are 43,000 LEED accredited professionals.

The program expands the problem-solving skills of designers in new directions. Sustainability design tools are identified and exploited by application in green building design strategies for sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, and indoor environmental quality.
