I just returned from a terrific training to become a Certified Green Building Professional through Build It Green (www.builditgreen.org), taught by Marc Richmond! Marc is an extremely knowledgeable green builder and consultant (www.practicaconsulting.com) who made both days extremely entertaining, engaging and most of all, informative. The Green Point Rated guidelines is only available for California residential buildings and is a bit less stringent than LEED, but requires less paperwork to get a home certified. It was wonderful to see so many builders, designers, subcontractors and Realtors there to learn more about green building. The biggest lesson we learned was that GREEN BUILDING means buildings and spaces that are BEAUTIFUL, HEALTHIER, COMFORTABLE and constructed with QUALITY materials INSTALLED CORRECTLY. The ENVIRONMENTAL component is merely a bonus benefit! With this additional knowledge and certification, eTTa designs looks forward to working on many more eco-friendly, sustainable and green design projects!
