The Society of American Registered Architects (SARA) and GHI have joined forces to promote sustainable living practices. This partnership aims to educate and empower architects to create more environmentally friendly living spaces. As part of this collaboration, all weekly Wednesday Webinar Continuing Education Unit (CEU) presentations and professional credential training will be submitted to SARA for CEUS approval. These CEUS may be tied to local and state license renewals for architects, making it easier for more architects to bridge the gap between traditional architectural practices and sustainability in living environments.
Continuing Education will be submitted on behalf of SARA member attendees who complete the sessions and CEU survey. The partnership between SARA and GHI highlights the important role that architects play in addressing environmental challenges. By embracing sustainable practices, architects can enhance the quality of living spaces while also contributing to the global effort to combat climate change. Join us in this important endeavor to enrich our communities and safeguard our planet for future generations.
The latest Green Home and Sustainability Feb 2024 Jobs round-up is out, and after seeing a dip in job openings like these the last few months, I was surprised to see how fast these types of job openings shot back up! I can barely keep up.
One of the jobs I want to highlight that I am biasedly excited about is with our SlipStream, their HVAC installation Installer. I am excited that they will oversee the MI Heat Pump Collaborative and help train HVAC here in our state to get more contractors listed as trained and engage HVAC for heat pump installs. Something that is severely lacking in our state. Learn more about the position here.
Note below that SlipStream has additional openings as well.
If you are looking to find a job in this field or even transform your current position into a sustainability position, please consider the internationally recognized sustainability credential, Green Associate. You can take our training class here on your time, any time! https://greenhomeinstitute.org/green-associate-exam-prep-course/
