REGREEN 301 will be offered in Omaha on Friday, November 4! If you have been considering becoming REGREEN Certified or if you simply would like to expand your knowledge about green design strategies, REGREEN is for you. This is a terrific opportunity to distinguish yourself as a green residential remodeling professional, and its coming to you, right here in Omaha!
This full-day workshop builds on foundational knowledge of the REGREEN Residential Remodeling Guidelines and available online courses and will assist you in identifying and evaluating which green considerations, concepts and strategies will make a meaningful and positive impact on your next project.
The workshop is designed for a dynamic group of design and construction professionals, from remodeling contractors to interior designers, who pride themselves on implementing green strategies.
Participants are invited to bring their own prospective projects to the course and will work in organized groups of multi-disciplinary professionals to apply the strategies discussed to real world projects. The hands-on and integrative nature of the course creates a true and unique workshop experience. The presence of two USGBC Faculty members, one with an Interior Design background and one with a Remodeling Contractor background, fosters a dynamic learning experience and integrative prospective.
Facilitators and participants will discuss the unique factors inherent in retrofit projects as well as the appropriateness and implementation of green strategies pertaining to site, foundation, building envelope, all major residential systems and equipment, applicable renewable energies, space utilization, finished surfaces, and furnishings and fittings. Two case studies woven into the workshop will help illustrate key concepts and strategies as they relate to two radically different climate conditions.
This full-day workshop is a required step in becoming REGREEN Trained, a comprehensive education program that allows you to differentiate yourself in the residential remodeling marketplace (see REGREEN website for details). Providing 7 hours of continuing education, the workshop may also be utilized to maintain various industry credentials.
