Efforts launched to help builders, others 'go green' Source: Journal of Business; Spokane
Skilled trades
Although WSU-Spokane is graduating 30 to 40 architecture and engineering students a year who've had exposure to sustainable design and construction, it won't do the region much good if the building industry can't execute those designs, Wavada says.
That's the reasoning behind a new training program that will be launched in the spring by the Northwest EcoBuilding Guild, a regional organization that has a chapter here. Using a $10,000 grant from Spokane's Foundation Northwest, the guild will devise short training sessions in green-building techniques and technologies, such as how to install a radiant-heat floor system, that will be offered to plumbers, electricians, carpenters, and others, Wavada says.
'We'll work with community colleges and union apprenticeship programs to integrate (the new programs) into their existing training,' he says.------------------------------------------- posted 6:44 AM :: reference link ::
