Green Realtors: The Key to Selling High Performance Buildings

Last year, the National Association of Realtors reported that more than 75% of real estate professionals consider energy efficiency and green home design to be significant features in a home purchase*.

To meet this growing interest, 3C-REN now provides trainings for real estate professionals, including agents and appraisers, to help them translate green home benefits to their clients. We help you understand green home valuation, the lower costs of home ownership, and the positive health impacts of energy efficient and sustainable systems.

3C-REN has trained more than 120 real estate professionals over the past 9 months. Fifty-six (56) have earned the National Association of Realtors Green Designation, one of the industry’s most regarded certifications for sustainability.

If you’re interested in earning more referrals in this growing segment, our next Green Real Estate Marketing training is on June 9. Register now.

Regional Forum Announced: Improving Indoor Air Quality through Better Buildings

Wildfire season is coming. Threats to indoor air quality from wildfires (along with viruses and air pollution), have made the demand for health-focused building retrofits greater than ever before.

Energy efficiency can act as a tool to decrease indoor air pollution related to combustion, leaky windows, poor ventilation, and more.
