Why Take this course

The growth of green buildings and LEED Certification in the building industry is creating a green skills gap that is allowing those with knowledge of sustainable methods and tools to be more competitive candidates for employment. It is important for those who build and maintain green buildings to understand how each system works individually and as a whole. Whereas LEED Accreditation is aimed at architects and engineers, GPRO focuses on the skills that contractors will need to make sure a building is designed and operated efficiently.

The fundamentals course is a prerequisite for all of the trade-specific courses. There are trade-specific courses for Construction Management, Operations & Maintenance, Electrical Systems, Plumbing and Mechanical-HVAC.
