Green Building Training held in Dublin
The City of Dublin recently served as host for Build It Green’s Certified Green Building Professional Training. Resident and Green Initiatives Task Force member Renata Flecchia Tyler was instrumental in bringing this training opportunity to the City by coordinating with Build It Green and attracting sponsorships. Importantly, this was the first time this training has been offered within the Tri-Valley area. Given all the changes occurring with the new California Green Building Codes, this is a great time to hold this training as jurisdictions, such as Dublin, are preparing for the new provisions. In total, there were 36 individuals that attended the training on August 16th and 17th at the Dublin Library. As a general overview, participants learned about:
• The science of buildings: energy, water, indoor air quality, and materials.
• Building the home: design, structure and envelope, systems, interiors, and finishes.
• How to market the benefits of green building to customers.
This is a great time for green building in Dublin!
