Green building is extremely popular in Buncombe County, and the Asheville-based Green Built Homes program has been a leader in educating builders and certifying homes statewide since 2004. With 1,580 Green Built certified homes and more than 250 participating builders, this is much more than a trend—it is a movement to protect the environment, support the health of occupants, cut utility costs, and increase the value of homes. Come learn how you can boost the quality and value of homes through green building.
This two-hour course including lunch will provide the basics on the importance and how-to of green building, and an overview of how builders can get involved in the Green Built Homes program administered by the nonprofit Green Built Alliance. Lunch will be available starting at 11:30 a.m. with the program beginning at noon.
We will discuss topics including:
◘ Maximizing site selection and land stewardship
◘ Designing for energy efficiency
◘ Selecting and building a tight energy efficiency envelope
◘ Installing energy efficiency materials and appliances
◘ Installing and financing solar energy
◘ Best practices for water conservation
◘ Achieving healthy indoor air quality
◘ Selecting and installing recycled and rapidly renewable materials
◘ Minimizing waste in construction
◘ Marketing the value of green building to your customers
The program is free to members of Green Built Alliance and the Asheville Home Builders Association, and $20 for all others. RSVP is required on the Asheville Home Builders’ Association’s website, linked in the tickets section above.
