Here's something I just found out about that may be of interest.
The Sustainable Building Advisor Program is scheduled for Fall 2010 and will be held on monthly weekend (Friday/Saturday) sessions of the nine month format. This includes presentations by experts, field trips, and interactive experience with sustainable building projects.
This program is co-sponsored by Columbia Gorge Community College. This course is for all building professionals who wish to create environmentally responsible and cost effective buildings.
Here are some of the strategies and tools for implementing Sustainable Buildings:
•State & Federal incentives for Solar power
•Applying LEED and other established Green Building Guidelines
•How Sustainable Buildings save you money
•Save long term costs for building owners
•Reduce environmental impacts
•Decrease owner liability
•Increase building user/tenant health and productivity
•Improve your skills in the Green Building field
