comment Home Inspectors Get Their Own Green Building Course
Responding to growth in the green homebuilding industry, the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors (InterNACHI), the world’s largest nonprofit inspection association, has released a free, online course to educate building inspectors about green building techniques, materials, and technologies.

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.
