This online course will provide you with an understanding of what goes into the 5 pillars of any green home -- energy efficiency, water conservation, healthy indoor air quality, responsible material use, and land stewardship – and will help you articulate the benefits of buying or upgrading to a “green home” to your clients.

Formatted for Busy Professionals

Earth Advantage wants to help you build skills that will benefit your clients, but we know you're too busy for lengthy online trainings. That's why we've released this course as separate 3-5 minute video presentations divided into 12 sections. That way you can start or stop your viewing at your own pace and easily resume the course at another time!
