Ron Barrow of RSB Home Builder Inc., recently became a member of the select group of professional builders, remodelers and other industry professionals nationwide who have earned the certified green professional designation.

The program is administered by the National Association of Home Builders University of Housing and sponsored locally by the Home Builders Association of Wayne County.

In three days of course work, the CGP curriculum incorporates a variety of information tailored to green building and business practices, including those aimed at energy efficiency, low maintenance and good indoor air quality.

CGP graduates are required to maintain their designation by completing 12 hours of continuing education every three years, a portion of which pertain to green building activities.

The National Association of Home Builders has more than 235,000 members and is affiliated with more than 800 state and local home builder associations in the country.
