The CGP curriculum includes three days of training from leading building industry practitioners and academics on a range of topics, including strategies for integrating green building principles into homes using cost-effective methods of construction. Coursework is based on the National Green Building Standard, the only ANSI-approved rating system for green homes, developments and remodeling projects. The standard includes sections on energy; water and resource efficiency; indoor environmental quality; lot and site development; and home owner education.
Administered by the National Association of Home Builders, the CGP program is sponsored locally by the Roanoke Reginal Home Builders Association.
