NARI Offers Certification for Green Remodelers

The National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI), working with GreenHome Guide, has developed a certification program for remodeling professionals using green building techniques. Applicants must have five years of remodeling experience, have been focused on green remodeling techniques for at least three years, and have 16 hours of continuing education related to green building. They must also pass a test, drawn in part from the Green Building Guidelines developed by the National Association of Home Builders, that covers building science principles, indoor air quality, energy efficiency, and deconstruction techniques, among other topics. NARI organizes study groups for all of its certification programs through its local chapters; more information is available at www.nari.org/certify/.
