Course Description
Training participants attend a two-day, 16-hour course based on the overarching principles of green building and the systems approach to the design, construction and operation of buildings. The course is followed by a written exam. Expert instructors and guest speakers provide in-depth presentations on green building topics and green business marketing. Typical course content is outlined below:

Day One:
Energy (conservation, efficiency, and renewable energy as it applies to framing, insulation, windows, water heating, appliances, heating/cooling and lighting)
Resource Conservation (jobsite waste/recycling, landscaping, water conservation, efficient framing, durability, and materials choices)
Day Two:
Indoor Air Quality (VOCs, finish materials, ventilation, filtration, mold, and IAQ construction practices)
Developing and Marketing a Green Business (consumer preferences, marketing tools, effective language, and green business case studies)
Final Exam
