Wednesday, October 23rd at 1 pm CST join our director for Consumer Engagement in Sustainability
The sustainable residential development movement has gotten some traction among housing professionals and members of the public that understand the value of sustainable development. However, the general consumer is not as aware of sustainable practices, materials, and resources to assist them with making their home healthier and more sustainable. This workshop will focus on information and strategies to increase engagement of consumers to make more sustainable choices in the renovation and construction of the places they live.
Learning objectives
During this workshop, participants will be able to:
- Identify groups that are not currently involved or familiar with sustainable practices and resources.
- Access financial and technical resources available to consumers
- Review the “Energy Coach” model for consumer support
- Develop and implement strategies to increase general consumer awareness and involvement with sustainable lifestyles.
To coordinate a meeting with José contact him during the event at 616 458 6733 ext 1
