A new green building educational designation for commercial, residential and construction lenders has been launched by PorterWorks Inc., a consulting company based in Stanwood, Wash., and founded by NAHB Green Building Subcommittee member Dave Porter.
The Green Lending Specialist designation is designed to be compatible with the NAHB Certified Green Professional (CGP) designation and similar programs for real estate agents and others in the building industry.
The subject matter includes green building techniques and practices as well as additional information on rating systems, including the National Green Building Standard; appraising; green lending and energy-efficient mortgages; greening Multiple Listing Service providers; and marketing and educational tools.
Lenders can find course dates and locations at www.porterworks.com and can also contact PorterWorks, Inc. at 360-631-5631 to schedule training.
