Residential Green Building Principles and Practices Workshop
This workshop is designed for residential architects, builders, and general contractors to learn the principles and practices of residential green building. The workshop is based on years of experience and provides practical information on green and sustainable building to allow you to compete in the current home building and renovation market.
Each module is two and a half hours long with a question and answer session after. These modules will provide you with tools and information to integrate what you have learned into your current and future projects. The Green Building Standards and Certifications in Module 6 will cover the current LEED and NAHB Standards and illustrate how to utilize what you learned in this workshop to certify your next project (if desired).
This workshop will include information in the latest green building techniques and products as well as details on the cost of building a green home.
