Jean Renoux's ONE- or TWO-DAY seminar "How to Design and Build Green" will help you learn about techniques, materials and products that are safer for your clients, yourself, and your family.
Professionals who attended prior courses like "Building & Designing the Healthy Home" and “Green Building inside out” left uplifted and excited about new important knowledge that can be integrated right away into their professional lives.
HOW TO DESIGN & BUILD GREEN
Some architects and designers must have considered the subject worthy of their interest. This is why a large number of architects and designers from New York, Maine, Nevada, Texas, Georgia, Louisiana, California, Arkansas, even as far as Oregon and Washington State have flown to Florida to take "Building & Designing the Healthy Home" then later came back for “Green Building Inside Out ” and “Sustainable Solutions.” Not a single one of them regrets having come such a long way at such expenses for a CEU.
Although a serious subject, Jean Renoux's courses get very high ratings because of
his sense of humor, the quality of his presentation, the depth of his knowledge and
the enthusiasm he puts into his teaching.
