The green building movement is one of today’s big growth areas – and a rising number of manufacturers and building professionals are taking note. More than ever before, demand for knowledge of environmentally sound building products and techniques is fueling attendance at LEED classes and educational programs like the U.S. Green Building Council’s Greenbuild conference.

Very small scale green building

Everyone has an interest in preserving the planet. But in this case, going green also helps the economy. The green building market yields more than $30 billion in annual sales, and experts expect this number to rise in coming years. Increased sales translate into financial gains not only for the manufacturers who produce sustainable building products and the trade professionals who use them, but also for consumers, in the form of lower energy costs.

DataWorks works with several major building product manufacturers that have implemented programs to recycle used material, decrease emissions, and use less water. Green products now offered by our customers include:

• Photovoltaic solar roofing material
• Insulation made from recycled and renewable materials
• Ventilation systems designed to keep attics cool
• Insulated siding
• Gypsum board made from 100% recycled paper
• Lighting control systems designed to decrease energy use

Making the decision to go green seems like a no-brainer. Like any shift in business strategy, however, success hinges on a sound professional training program. Our customers have expanded their reach by offering credential programs to train architects, builders, and contractors in green building practices. DataWorks is proud to be able to help in a small way by providing the back-end support for these training programs.

For any professional education program, DataWorks can:

• Send invitations
• Take registrations
• Send confirmations
• Ship materials to class locations
• Send premiums and follow up materials to attendees
• Tabulate feedback data
• Manage credential databases
• And much more!

Let us take care of the details so that you can focus on training your audience. Review our credential programs page for more information. Contact us for help managing your professional training programs.
