Work-Trade Opportunity
Description
The Bay Area has a very active and highly skilled community of professionals working to develop high performance buildings and sustainable communities. Engaged with this effort are instructors and graduates of the Sustainable Building Advisor (SBA) Program in San Francisco. As a part of the effort to strengthen the green building community, the SBA Program in SF has developed a blog that highlights course activities, projects throughout the Bay Area, interviews with graduates and course instructors, innovative ideas and upcoming events. Working on the blog allows authors the opportunity to be personally involved with this in-depth international training program, meet professionals active in sustainable development and gain exposure to green building projects and events, both locally and around the world.
