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)

Please note: There is no refund for cancellations within 48 hours; however, you can transfer your registration to another date for an administration fee of $15.

A limited number of bursaries will be available for student and non-profit participants. Please contact Katannya Yee at info(at)sustainablebuildingcentre.com for more details.
