Training Opportunities
Boot Camp - GRT piloted a ground breaking new program that combines education with the management consulting necessary to move green design from a nascent specialty to a fully integrated skill in all project delivery in corporate firms - no matter what the discipline. These services allow firms to go beyond the typical education of a few dedicated people, and transform their practice from management through project implementation. Not only are staff educated and trained, but organizational issues that affect the execution of integrated design are dealt with in the specific context of the firm's unique culture.
Independent Workshops - These are run by GRT for practicing professionals on a wide range of topics (technical and non-technical): Managing the Integrated Design Process, Green Specifications, Designing for superior indoor air quality, LEEDTM, Negotiating a Green Mindset, Managing the Cost of Green Design/LEEDTM and more.
