Renaissance Homes achieves Certified Green Professional designation

In September 2008, Renaissance Homes, Inc. was awarded the Professional Designation of Certified Green Professional (CGP) by the National Association of Home Builders. This designation represents a select group of professional builders, remodelers, and other industry professionals nationwide who have earned the CGP credential by verifying their knowledge of the best strategies for incorporating green building principles into homes.

The CGP program is administered by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) University of Housing. The curriculum incorporates specialized coursework along with training by leading building industry practitioners and academics on a range of topics, including strategies for incorporating green building principles into homes using cost-effective methods of construction, and how green homes provide buyers with lower maintenance and good indoor air quality. The CGP credential carries with it the requirement to maintain current in the exploding area of Green Building by completing periodic continuing education courses to keep abreast of the latest products and techniques available in this vibrant area of the construction industry.

The National Association of Home Builders is a Washington-based trade association representing more than 235,000 members involved in the construction industry. Known as "the voice of the housing industry," NAHB is affiliated with more than 800 state and local home builders associations around the country. NAHB's builder members construct about 80 percent of the new homes constructed each year, making housing one of the largest and most powerful engines of economic growth in our country.
