GREEN HOMES Certification  
Location : Italian Design & Architecture, Strada Argentina, nr. 43
From: Thursday 25 May 2017, 09:00
To: Thursday 25 May 2017, 17:00

The Romania Green Building Council has developed a low cost but comprehensive Green Homes certification to assess and recognize the top performing residential projects utilizing sustainable construction principles. Financial and technical modeling have proven that investing in sensible measures for energy efficiency and other green building attributes for homes will improve housing quality, reduce the total monthly cost of ownership for the homeowner, allow for higher sales prices for the project developer/investor, and substantially reduce the financial risk for the bank offering the mortgage on the home.

Fifteen residential projects representing over 4.600 residential units have been certified or in-process to obtain the certification across Romania. Download here the RoGBC Green Homes & Green Mortgages Toolkit for Residential Investors.

RoGBC offers this course– relevant to all persons working in the residential building community - to explain the program and the details necessary to build high performing green homes. Interested persons can also complete this course in addition to four other courses to obtain the “Green Homes Accredited Specialist” designation.
