SARA and GreenHome Institute Forge Partnership for Sustainable Housing Education
In a groundbreaking move for the architectural community, the Society of American Registered Architects (SARA) has joined forces with the GreenHome Institute (GHI), marking a significant step forward in promoting sustainable living practices. This collaboration is set to empower architects with the knowledge to create healthier, more environmentally friendly living spaces through a series of educational initiatives.
Central to this partnership is the introduction of a weekly Wednesday Webinar Continuing Education Unit (CEU) presentation, exclusively available to all SARA members. This program is designed to bridge the gap between traditional architectural practices and the urgent need for sustainability in the design and construction of living environments.
The GreenHome Institute brings to the table its vast experience and expertise in sustainable housing, offering insights into innovative practices that can significantly reduce the environmental footprint of new and renovated homes. By integrating GHI's knowledge base with SARA's commitment to professional development, this partnership promises to equip architects with the tools they need to lead the charge in sustainable design.
The webinars will cover a wide range of topics, from energy efficiency and renewable energy sources to sustainable materials and green building certifications. This initiative not only aims to enhance the skill set of architects but also to inspire them to incorporate sustainable practices into their projects, thereby contributing to healthier communities and a more sustainable planet.
SARA and GHI are excited to invite all SARA members to join this educational journey. The webinars are an excellent opportunity for architects to stay ahead of the curve in sustainable design and to earn CEU credits in the process. For more details on the webinar schedule and to explore the available courses, members are encouraged to visit the official SARA website.
This partnership between SARA and the GreenHome Institute underscores the architectural profession's pivotal role in addressing environmental challenges. By embracing sustainable practices, architects can not only enhance the quality of living spaces but also contribute significantly 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.
