Sustainability
Reusable Materials: In our course modules, we provide instructions and awareness of the benefits of shifting buildings to use renewable materials such as replacing steel with renewable mass timer which lowers carbon emissions.
Solar Photovoltaic: Our solar curriculum creates education and awareness for solar photovoltaic installers, often called PV installers, who assemble, install, or maintain solar panel systems on roofs or other structures. Solar can reduce carbon emissions, water consumption and air pollution.
Retrofitting: Our education courses teach the benefits and sustainability aspects of retrofitting which makes buildings more efficient, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, increase the lifespan of structures, and make construction spaces healthier and more desirable for the occupants.
