Green Building 101 Workshop for Homes
Registration is now open for 2008 workshops. Scroll down for more information.
In response to overwhelming interest, we offer a two-hour, non-technical “Green Building 101” for homeowners 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)
