Sustainable Homes Professional (Portland)

Join an interactive six-month accreditation program and learning high performance building practices from expert instructor Stephen Aiguier. He will guide participants through their own green projects and share practical insights on:

• Building science fundamentals and moisture management
• High performance wall and roof assemblies
• Integrated system design and mechanical/whole house performance testing
• Indoor air quality, green material considerations, and health impacts
• Water conservations techniques

Each two-day module integrates lecture and discussion, hands-on exercises, a guest speaker, and tours of two certified homes. Outside work includes homework assignments, quizzes, readings, and a final project that puts principles into practice. A certification exam at the end of the course allows participants to earn the designation of an accredited Sustainable Homes Professional (SHP). Earth Advantage® also provides marketing support to help graduates gain visibility as informed green professionals.
