U.S. Green Building Council Launches Education Provider Program
On
Dec. 12, the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) announced the launch
of the Education Provider Program (EPP), which will result in an
extensive "course catalog" of top-tier green building educational
programs, peer-reviewed and approved by USGBC.
"The Education Provider Program is an extension of the council's
mission and our ongoing efforts to broaden and deepen educational
offerings for green building professionals," said 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."
USGBC Education Providers are USGBC members, chapters and affiliates
that demonstrate an organization-wide commitment to green building and
the development of high-quality educational courses.
Courses approved by the EPP are currently listed on the USGBC Web site (http://www.usgbc.org/epp)
and will soon be incorporated into the newly-launched Greenbuild365 Web
site, USGBC's online portal for green building education (http://www.greenbuild365.org). For more information about the Education Provider Program, visit http://www.usgbc.org/epp.
