NCCER to Provide Green Building Training

The National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER) has partnered with the Sustainable Facilities and Infrastructure Research Team of the Myers-Lawson School of Construction at Virginia Tech University in Blacksburg, Va., to create a green training for the construction industry.

The course, “Your Role in the Green Environment,” provides fundamental instruction in the green environment, green construction practices and green building rating system.

The 15-hour introductory course provides an introduction to the LEED Green Building Rating System, helps identify construction activities that contribute to a project’s LEED rating and addresses common construction pitfalls to avoid in trying to achieve LEED certification.
