Green Building 101 Workshop
In response to overwhelming interest, we have developed a two-hour, non-technical “Green Building 101” for homeowners, strata-dwellers and anyone else interested in learning how to “green” their home!
Participants will gain a general understanding of green design ideas, issues and processes, develop a set of personal green goals for their home, and leave with a practical resource workbook. Confused about where to start, who to talk to and what questions to ask? Then this course is for you!
Key concepts:
"Green" Design and construction practices significantly reduce or eliminate the negative impact of buildings on the environment and occupants in five broad areas;
- Site planning
- Water and water efficiency
- Energy efficiency and renewable energy
- Conservation of materials and resources
- Indoor environmental air quality
...using a systems approach and an integrated design process
Cost: $26 (including course workbook)
*Please note that we have raised the fee due to increased printing costs.
A limited number of bursaries will be available for student and non-profit participants. Please contact Katannya Yee at info@sustainablebuildingcentre.com for more details.
