U.S. Green Building Council Launches Catalog of Top-Tier Green Building Ed. Programs
by Kenny Luna, North Babylon, NY on 12.12.07
Well, the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) recently announced the launch of their new Education Provider Program (EPP). The goal is to ultimately create an extensive "course catalog" of top-tier green building educational programs, peer-reviewed and approved by the USGBC, making it easy for those in the field looking to upgrade their skills to find them.
According to Peter Templeton, Senior Vice President of Education and Research for USGBC, “The program will review and promote top-quality, innovative courses that will expand green building knowledge and capacity across all sectors of the industry.”
The courses which have already been approved are listed on the USGBC website and will soon be incorporated into the newly-launched Greenbuild365 website, their online portal for green building education.
If you’re in the field or considering it, checking out what they’ve got to offer sounds like a bright idea to me…

I'd like to point out that this photo is one of Seattle's public libraries--in this case, the Ballard branch. Our public library system is truly fabulous, but the Ballard location especially so. TH readers can check out all the nifty green features at http://www.aiatopten.org/hpb/overview.cfm?ProjectID=655.
What building is this on the article?
I wonder if the CaGBC has anything like this in the offering? would be a fantastic resource for all Canadians looking to better themselves in the greenway.
I think your link is broken. the "listed on the usgbc website" link goes to: http://www.treehugger.com/files/2007/12/www.usgbc.org/epp
and says page not found
When it comes to Green building, the question begs: What's in your air and water.
We offer truly excellent education of our air and water products.
Please contact for articles and discussion.
thank you

Cool sites.
I am planning to build a house in the next few years and these sites are great resources for ideas and new technologies.
The Ballard Library was designed by Bohlin Cywinski Jackson Architects in Seattle. You can see more of this building and other green designs at WWW.BCJ.COM.
