On Thursday, September 30, we'll take a real house plan and NAHB trained verifiers and certified green professionals will walk you through using the online scoring tool for each section of the National Green Building Standard. One of the St. Louis area's most seasoned verifiers from Laclede Gas, a partner with the St. Louis HBA in its green building program, will also be on hand to provide additional expertise.
The course will take place at the HBA and begin at 8 am, wrapping up around 5 pm. Lunch will be included. The course cost for HBA members who need a copy of the Green Building Standard is $30; for those who do not need the publication the cost is $20. For non-members it is $45 and $40, respectively.
In addition to providing an overview of the transition to the ANSI certified Green Building Standard (from the Guidelines), the one-day course will cover each standard scoring section including:
– Lot Design, Prep and Development
– Resource Efficiency
– Energy Efficiency
– Water Efficiency/Indoor Environmental Quality
– Operation, Maintenance, and Building Owner Education
This course is open to HBA builders, remodelers and associate members. Each segment of the industry will benefit from understanding the steps of the verification process (for new construction and remodeling). Many of you are already building a home that would qualify for at least the bronze level of certification. After this course you'll be well acquainted with the process to verify that performance using the standard.
