Way to go Standale Lumber in promoting LEED for Homes to builders. That is a great way to provide value to customers while exposing folks to a better way of building. Nice work!

Hi MAry how was the class?

Hi Don, The class was a very good introduction to explain what LEED for Homes entails. There was good information on how the point system works and outlining the process of certification. This was a very basic course which does a nice job taking the mystery out of LEED and also demonstrates a LEED project can be done very affordably. Thanks!

I wish I could have made that class.  You'll have to let me know when the next one is.

Darn -- I was dealing with a lot of ice and snow and missed the post and the class.  Are they going to schedule another webinar soon?  Is their a good resource for this information?  So many questions--- Thanks Mary.

Hi Tammy - missed you there!  Keep an eye on the West Michigan Chapter newsletter and emails. It was awesome that Standale hosted this. There was a good mix of employees, contractors and a few from our Leed for Homes group. I will be looking forward to a LEED for Homes 102 myself!

Hi Joan (& Tammy) - I just checked the USGBC website. They have a new website for Homes - greenhomeguide.org. Check it out! There are good resources!

This webinar was one in a series of three - I didn't realize that before. March 12 will be Case Studies and April 9 will be on the delivery process.

Joan - The website has great resources! You can download the guidelines a familiarize yourself with the process. Good luck!

HI Stefan - the website has good information. Do you have many builders in your area building to LEED standards? I have been told that TC has an awesome Green Built program.
