Training and Education
Benjamin Franklin said, “Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.” BuildingGreen is the most trusted source in the green building industry because of our entire ecosystem of information services: Our membership base of tens of thousands of professionals supports deep research on topics that few others have the resources to support. As we publish news analysis, feature articles, and case studies every month on the industry’s hottest topics we distill the practical wisdom of the leading practitioners. Our trainings translate everything we’ve learned into hands-on lessons that professionals (including emerging professionals) can use to solve problems right away, and provide us immediate feedback on what’s work in sustainable design and construction.
Designers, manufacturers, professional associations, nonprofits, and universities come to us for training on these topics, among others:
- New and rapidly changing expectations and frameworks for transparency and health and ecological impacts of products.
- We can’t all be toxicologists or building scientists, nor is that the job of the design architect. But we can apply key lessons from these professions and others to improve the scientific basis of your day-to-day work.
- Resilient design: How to make it practical for any building project, and create synergies with other green building measures.
- Green building rating systems: we lead workshops on LEED v4 (including product selection), WELL, LEED vs. Green Globes, and LEED AP and Green Associate exam prep.
In all cases, BuildingGreen tailors training for your company with a focus on well-organized, practical presentation materials; the best resources for follow-up and making it practical; and answering that one burning question you have, but have been reluctant to ask.
