Green from the Ground Up
Green from the Ground Up, is a 2-day training geared toward builders, architects, contractors and trades people who need a more in-depth understanding of how to build green. Participants will learn how to approach a home from the green building mindset. Instead of seeing the house just as a conglomeration of parts, students learn to view a home in terms of interrelated systems. From foundations to flooring, from roofs to HVAC systems, students learn that all aspects of design and construction must function together in order to build a green home.
We will emphasize the best available green building practices available for implementation and build professional’s capacity to retrofit homes or build new homes to be more energy efficient, improve indoor air quality and enhance the environmental performance on various levels of sophistication.
