Providing more educational opportunities around various topic of sustainability and green lifestyles has been a goal of ours from the beginning. We now have both the facility and the resources to do this now. We will focus on both classes for industry professionals and for the public. For the professionals we have begun by teaming up with the Environmental Institute of America who has training courses for LEED certification and for finding and securing stimulus money for businesses. These courses will be one to three days depending upon the class. EIA has developed a strong curriculum and has a very professional and well educated teaching staff.
Our first classes will be:
· March 29 LEED GA
· March 30 - 31 LEED AP BD+C (Building Design and Construction)

Melissa Smith of Shades of Green Event Services has also signed on as our events coordinator and will start to put together classes and events for the public as well. Some of our programs will include hands on classes in historic home window repair and design charettes for developing out door living spaces. We will also host classes on green building concepts and practices that will help you feel more confident and get your building projects focused and organized. What types of classes and events would you like to see? We really want to know.

I would love to see classes on implementing 'green' concepts into the home and work place. Special focus on 'green' events..birthday parties, weddings..etc with less waste. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteCatriona,
ReplyDeleteWonderful suggestion! We will forward this to our event coordinator, Melissa. She specializes in this very thing and will be teaching some of our future classes. We will definitely make sure this is one of our "regulars".
Thanks for the great idea!
