WHAT!? GREEN IN FLORIDA ? YES!

Cost implications, value in the marketplace and special building requirements are among the factors that keep many builders from the green market.  Find out if it’s right for you, by discovering:

1. What is the environmental and economic impact of green building.
2. What is the impact on densities, construction and appearance when building green.
3. What does it take to start building green — is it all or none or can you get in slowly. What design, regulatory, production, liability and marketing issues are involved.
4. Who is attracted to green homes and communities and how do you reach them. Learn how the marketing efforts may change.

Courses:

Building Green with Sustainable Profits
CILB Course #: 0608297 CEUs: 1-General

Field examples of basic as well as advanced green building strategies will be critiqued — what worked and what hasn’t over the past twenty-five years.  How various building components interact with each other to effect health, building maintenance, water conservation, and energy efficiency will also be addressed.
