Education

Education for members and consumers is one of the primary goals of the Triad Green Building Council. As green building moves into the mainstream, education is the key to furthering that process. The Triad Green Building Council as well as the NAHB National Green Building Program offers numerous opportunities throughout the year for education and continued learning for builders and building professionals at all levels.

Council Meetings

Triad Green Building Council meetings provide educational programs as well as networking opportunities with other industry professionals regarding green products and services.

Council meetings are typically held the third Monday of each month at 3:30 pm.

Seminars & Workshops

Seminars and workshops on green building practices, techniques, products and service are offered to council and HBA members throughout the year.

Programs include Building an Energy Star home; How to Begin the NAHB Green Certification process; and Green Building for Building Professionals.

Certified Green Professional

NAHB's Certified Green Professional (CGP) designation recognizes builders, remodelers and other industry professionals who incorporate green building principles into homes-without driving up the cost of construction. Class work leading to the designation provides a solid background in green building methods, as well as the tools to reach consumers.
