Serving Professionals, Building Knowledge
GREENFIELD, MA, February 2010: The Northeast Sustainable Energy Association (NESEA) is pleased to announce its Spring 2010 Sustainability Workshop Series scheduled to run in March, April, May and June.
An exciting new element to the workshops this year is NESEA’s affiliation with the Affordable Comfort, Inc. (ACI) Conference. The two full-day workshops scheduled on March 3 in Atlantic City, NJ, will be held the day before the ACI New Jersey Home Performance Conference.
NESEA's sustainability workshop series serves professionals by broadening their knowledge on a wide range of critical topics that focus on three core elements: sustainable solutions, proven results and cutting-edge development in the field. Each workshop is accredited by AIA, BOMI, InterNACHI, NAHB, and NARI. Attendees receive seven continuing education units for each full day workshop. New this year is the addition of the BPI accreditation. These continuing education credits will be applied to select workshops. Visit www.nesea.org for details.
