 As we all struggle with this building season there is one thing to keep in mind, our biggest competition is not each other but the existing home market. What a better way to differentiate us from them then the new buzz, “Green Building”. On April 9-11 the National Association of Home Builders will be putting a Certified Green Professional seminar on in Fort Wayne at Goeglein’s on Maysville Road. The program was not originally scheduled for our area but we were able to convince everyone involved that the program needed to be offered in Fort Wayne. Our local HBA will be subsidizing the fees for our members to make it more affordable, $250 for the three days ($450 is regular price). Learn about all parts of “Green Building” more than just energy efficiency. As this nation becomes more concerned about the environment, energy efficiency, indoor air quality, water conservation, etc., it would help us all to understand this better. The feeling is these techniques may be mandated in the future. We all need to be aware of most aspects of this part of our building future and the future generations to come. |
