About the Training

The Rebuilding Certificate Training is designed to provide direct insight into our Rebuilding Guide and to help you implement best practices in sustainable rebuilding. Spots are limited to the first 25 who are registered at our Learning Center through the link below. The training will be taking place before the community expo, from 10am-1pm in the same location. Register here.

USGBC-CA, with technical support from Arup and our Wildfire Defense Advisory Committee, developed the Wildfire Rebuilding Guide to support those affected by the recent fires in the Los Angeles area. This group of experts in wildfire recovery, sustainable building, and community resilience has identified key early decisions that homeowners and building professionals will face and provides guidance to help them make the best decisions on their pathway to rebuilding. If you are a homeowner, business owner, contractor, architect, urban planner, landscape architect, or resident of a fire-affected community looking to rebuild a resilient and sustainable home or a professional looking to deepen your understanding and skillset in sustainable design and building, this certificate is for you!

This training offers guidance, resources, best practices, materials and other tools designed to support contractors, construction professionals, and landscapers during the post-climate disaster rebuilding process. The goal is to increase the capacity and knowledge around resilient and green building principles and to underscore best practices in high-road contracting. Our goal is to collaborate with partners across our region to provide comprehensive resources and support towards a greener and more resilient future.
