Frequently Asked Questions about the Green Build Programs
Why is the Green Build Science program better than an ECO Broker designation?
We don’t comment on other programs other than to say any organization that helps develop and sponsor an understanding of the environment and how to reduce our impact on the environment is good to have around. LGLS CP is different than all other programs; it focuses on environmental issues, as well as those issues which affect the pocket book of everyone
It carries a different tone and ties back into a less commercialized website and organization.
We teach in a classroom setting not online, and all our instructors are personally trained by Peter Lytle the Executive Director of LGLS Institute and are living the green life themselves.
