Green building certification is a process that can help reduce the environmental and sustainability impacts of buildings. In Vietnam, LEED and LOTUS  are the two common green building certification programs. Each of these certification systems also has its own professional credential programs for those interested in getting a foot in the door for a career in sustainability, architecture, and construction. While LOTUS only has the advanced-level LOTUS AP credential, LEED also has a foundational credential for sustainability, called LEED Green Associate (LEED GA).
