Certified Green Professionals to Be Honored at Green Conference
The first graduating class of Certified Green Professional designees will be honored at a ceremony on Saturday, May 10 in New Orleans as part of the National Green Building Conference.
The CGP designation teaches builders, remodelers and other industry professionals techniques for incorporating green building principles into homes using cost-effective and affordable options.
The required courses for the designation — “Green Building for Building Professionals” and “Business Management for Building Professionals” — provide a background in green building methods and the tools to reach consumers and incorporate green building into an existing business.
The courses will be offered as pre- and post-show classes at the National Green Building Conference, allowing attendees to earn the designation on site.
More than 300 people have qualified to earn the CGP since the designation was launched at the 2008 International Builders’ Show in February.
