Training on Net Zero Ready Homes Comes to Durango on May 9th

The Colorado Green Building Guild, a trade organization focused on advancing the craft of sustainable building in Colorado, announces a new partnership with the Department of Energy (DOE) to provide dynamic content on the business, marketing, and technical strategies to successfully build net zero-energy ready homes in today’s housing market.

This builder-focused training session features multiple modules covering the business advantages of high performance building, marketing to consumers, advanced building system design strategies and specifications, and gaining recognition through the DOE Challenge Home Program.  This 3 ½ hour course is eligible for AIA CEUs.

“Anyone in the building sector interested in new construction projects should attend,” says Cori Andreatta, Training Coordinator at 4CORE. “These trainings will help position contractors ahead of the curve and give them a marketing edge as we see the building sector start to pick up,” adds Andreatta.
