Hanley Wood will use "best-in-class" content focusing on Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) to provide free educational sessions and seminars to sustainable design professionals.

"Hanley Wood is committed to training and supporting the sustainable design and construction movement," Peter Goldstone, CEO of Hanley Wood, said in a statement.

The site offers a simple, intuitive user experience that includes: access to the most comprehensive collection of courses devoted to sustainable design and construction; exclusive access to content delivered at the Greenbuild Conference and Expo, and no cost for access to, or completion of, any courses.

"The Greenbuild Conference and Expo offers unparalleled learning opportunities for construction and design professionals," Andy Reid, president of Digital and Strategic Development, said in a statement.
