NAR Green Day 1: The Resource-Efficient Home - Retrofits, Remodels, Renovations, and New Home Construction with Green Home Tour

Thursday, July 18th | 9:00 am – 5:00 pm

The session looks at why consumer demand for these homes is increasing and how both the homes and consumer expectations impact the market. The course prepares real estate professionals to provide advice and sources of information to help homeowners improve the resource efficiency of their homes from low-cost fixes and DIY projects to retrofitting and replacing systems to big -budget remodeling projects. The course also looks at constructing a new, resource-efficient home and the value that real estate professionals can bring to the design and build team.

During Day 1, we'll take a field trip to a green home to continue learning building science while seeing how it can be applied firsthand to a listing. You'll see how you can incorporate green features into your listing and talk about the benefits.
