Prior Initiatives: Green Building Product Certification Course

GBA Online Learning was a response to the need for an easily accessible and engaging delivery system for green building training and information. This initiative provided a comprehensive, course-based online tool for professionals in the construction and manufacturing fields.

By leveraging its advanced knowledge of green building products, GBA offered an online course entitled “Green Building Product Certifications & Labeling.” This tool was designed to provide valuable information that could assist product manufacturers in making vital decisions about green building product certifications and labeling in an engaging and fun way.

The “Green Building Product Certifications & Labeling Course” was available to everyone and:

• Helped users navigate the hundreds of labels and certifications on the market
• Offered users important information on adding credibility to their products
• Reduced “greenwashing” by ensuring that manufacturers are verifying the sustainability of their products
