Want to ‘green’ your home? Learn about green design and how to identify green-washing. Have fun with a hands-on analysis of your home or project. Discover how to lower your utility bills and live more comfortably in a healthier home!

If you are looking to buy, build or renovate your home using sustainable design principles, join us for a basic, non-technical course in high-performance design, materials and systems, personalized for your project.

The course will include lectures, case studies, and hands-on work sessions. You will learn how to find resources to assist you in developing green strategies tailored to your personal project and tools to track your progress and meet your goals.
