Developed by home inspector Kenton Shepard, the course offers contextual information about energy use and climate change as well as technical details on photovoltaic installations, passive solar design, building envelope construction, and other specific green building techniques.
The course is available to InterNACHI members as well as the public, and a final exam allows users to test their knowledge. The course is available at www.nachi.org.
