WASHINGTON - January 30th

As members of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) prepare for the launch of the NAHB National Green Building Program, they’re planning on getting educated – in droves.

Those attending the International Builders’ Show (IBS) in Orlando, Fla., Feb. 13-16 have been filling their online show planners with educational seminars on all things green – from marketing sessions to technical presentations to courses needed to meet the requirements for earning the new Certified Green Professionalâ„¢ designation.

Green certainly can't be ignored.

My trouble is figuring a way to profit it from it. . . ethically.

What could a home inspector provide that the web couldn't?

P.S. Its kind of a trick question. I have a few ideas but wanted to see what others might say.

I belier it would be helpful for the inspectors to know what to be looking for when our client ask is this house green. Some builder may be saying they are building green and they are not. Just like builder saying they are building to code and they are not.

Green is upon us. The more we know the better for our clients. In Chicago, the Center for Green Technology offers a wide variety of seminars and classes on the subject. There are many buildings going up that are Green Certified. Get ahead of the curve. Any day you can learn something is a good day.

I had the opportunity to speak with the lady that owns Hathmore Technologies, LLC out of Blue Springs Mo, and she turned me on to some pretty good books and training covering information on energy conservation for buildings. Here is the link.
