Go Green with NARI
Green remodeling is one of the hottest (and hotly debated) topics in the industry. The National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) has rolled out a green remodeling education program. NARI's green remodeling program is multi-faceted, focusing on energy efficiency and conservation, indoor air quality, efficient use of resources, recycling of demolition material and renewable energy sources, among other topics. The program will run for 12 weeks with a 2-hour class weekly. Each class will address specific topics such as building science application, green remodeling guidelines, solar applications, appliance selection and marketing a green business.

Next Green Education Course
The next Green Education Series will begin on May 7, 2009.  This class can be the first step in moving your company into the business of green remodeling. The course is designed to provide you with a solid foundation in Green Remodeling and allow you to start practicing today.
