High Performance Building for Building Professionals

Implementing cost-effective green building into your construction practices requires a whole-house approach to building science. In this course, you will learn how to apply green building practices in the construction of a new home, remodel, site development or multifamily project. With a focus on flexibility, a sound knowledge base and cost-effective solutions, the course provides the tools for a successful green project and includes a review of the newly revised ICC/ASHRAE 700-2015 National Green Building Standard™ (NGBS). This course can be taken in its entirety or you may choose to take one to 10 different modules focused on a specific high performance topic.

By completing this course, you will be able to:

  • Integrate sound building science principles and a whole-house approach into the design, construction and remodeling process.
  • Analyze an array of water-, resource- and energy-efficiency solutions and techniques as well as indoor environmental quality practices.
  • Examine specific practices in each chapter of the NGBS.
