In-person Sustainable Homes Professional training returns to Oregon: Don’t miss this opportunity

After a five-year hiatus, the Sustainable Homes Professional (SHP) training returns in-person on November 8, 2024, in Portland, Oregon.

SHP offers a unique opportunity to master the art of high-performance building in the Northwest. Since its inception in 2008, SHP has offered more than 20 sessions across Oregon, and trained more than 650 professionals to become leaders in the industry. This is a must-attend event for builders, designers, and contractors looking to future-proof their career and projects. By the end of the program, you’ll have the skills and confidence to design and build homes that not only meet but exceed today’s stringent building codes. Attending this training will allow participants to:

• Understand the future of sustainable building: Receive the cutting-edge techniques for designing and building energy efficient, healthier, and more resilient homes. Unlike many narrowly focused programs, SHP takes a holistic approach—from building science and durable envelope assemblies to indoor air quality and energy-efficient mechanical systems. You will also gain a more comprehensive skill set and earn the SHP designation that sets you apart in a rapidly evolving market.

• Receive tailored information for Portland professionals: Learn how to navigate local building codes, overcome climate-specific challenges, and leverage Oregon’s current above-code incentives and tax credits. This regional focus gives you the tools to be a leader in the local market and position yourself as a sustainable building expert in the Northwest.

• Network with local industry leaders: Build relationships and engage with local experts and peers in the field who can help you grow your business—and keep you at the forefront of the industry.

• Leverage financial benefits: SHP will teach you how to effectively design and build high-performance homes, leverage tax credits, and take advantage of cash incentives to benefit your projects.

• Gain real-world expertise: Hear from industry experts Alex Boetzel (Earth Advantage), Stephen Aiguier (Green Hammer Design Build), and other guest speakers. SHP combines lecture-based learning with real-world application. You’ll tour green-certified homes under construction and gain insights about sustainable building practices from project teams. Participants seeking the SHP designation will complete a final project, ensuring you can put your learning into practice.
