The Path to Becoming a Leading Green Builder
Prospective home buyers are increasingly looking for homes that are more energy efficient. So, today's home builders need to learn how to be cost effective while implementing a whole-house approach to green-building techniques. NAHB's Basics of High Performance Building course teaches the latest green-building best practices in the construction of a new home, remodel or multifamily project.
This course will provide the tools for a successful green project and includes a review of the newly revised ICC 700-2020 National Green Building Standard (NGBS). The course consists of six modules that focus on different high-performance building topics.
Participants will also learn how to:

- Analyze and implement various energy-saving techniques
- Enhance indoor environment and air quality
- Market and sell in the evolving green home marketplace
