Looking through the April issue of _Remodeling_ magazine (after reading my [ own column][4] in the issue), I ran across an [ article][5] about [ John Tabor][6], a remodeler who used an addition to his own home to learn about green building and train his crews on technologies that they had not yet used.

Green building appeared to be one of the fastest growing sector in the real estate industry since many countries are now implementing green design and construction to commercial buildings and homes. This is a good opportunity for engineers and construction professionals to take green building courses to update themselves with the laws, policies, practices, and industry procedures associated with green building. They can also take green building training courses online.
