That sounds great that finally, Nigeria also has LEED-certified buildings. But I don't think it is the only one. There should be more and more buildings like this here. I think our people should also try to get LEED Green Associate certifications to deal with global green associates. I am also thinking to conduct a LEED exam. No doubt, it is tough, but I hope I can pass it.

However, it is not only LEED that give such certifications. There are also many green building certifications like these https://www.gbrionline.org/green-building-certification/ who approve buildings. Yes, you can also consider Energy Stars, National Green Building Standards and Green Globes program in this regard. Nowadays, the importance of green buildings is increasing. Mainly, if we want to safeguard our environment from global warming and climate changes, then we must prefer green buildings.
