EDUCATION & TRAINING

 

New Seminars!

Following the tremendous response to our recent Southern California seminar and the CALGreen sessions on April 26 at the Green California Summit, we've added several new dates.

On July 1, 2012 multiple changes will go into effect for CALGreen, California’s mandatory green building code. The changes range from minor to major. Some will require significant changes and adjustments in planning and construction practices.

In addition, the code will apply to additions and remodels for nonresidential buildings.

Attend this special half-day seminar to get briefed now on what's coming! Check the schedule below to find a session in your area.
