NAHB's Green Building Subcommittee and staff are providing technical assistance to the Appraisal Institute  as it designs  an education course for real estate appraisers on evaluating Green Building techniques and elements in new homes.

The content includes information on the popular NAHB National Green Building Program, including the National Green Building Certification administered by the NAHB Research Center. In all, the new course will discuss the growing acceptance of green building, review green products and materials, and help appraisers recognize how green building techniques can affect the applications of the cost, sales comparison and income capitalization approaches to the appraisal process.

Registration and class location info is available in the education section of the Appraisal Institute's Web site. For more information, e-mail Calli Schmidt, or call her at 800-368-5242  x8132.
