Green Building Diploma Series (GBDS)

The Green Building Diploma Series (GBDS) is tailored specifically for building professionals. The program will provide the necessary skills and information to help architects, engineers, general contractors, and others in the building profession get involved with the rapidly growing market for high-performance and sustainable buildings in both the commercial and residential sectors.

Tailored similar to the Renewable Energy Technologies Diploma Series (RETDS), the Green Building series requires the completion of 105 contact hours, or three week-long workshops within three years. Two week-long workshops on commercial design and building will be offered in addition to the already offered residential workshop on Designing and Building a Sustainable Home or Small Building.

AIA credits will be offered for the GBDS workshops, while PDHs will be offered for both RETDS and GBDS courses. All of the diploma series programs offer Continuing Education Units.
