As the construction industry focuses more on building performance, no building component or aspect is isolated.  Understanding the building envelope requires knowledge of many aspects of materials and methods.  The construction curriculum program at AB-Tech focuses on providing students with the overall knowledge that will help them compete in the modern construction industry. However, for introductory workshops and general primers on certain aspects of green building, students can check with AB-Tech’s Continuing Education Program, or view our upcoming workshops and specialized classes.

For further study, you can contact any of the several local community organizations that provide focused workshops:

Western NC Green Building Council
Ashevillage Institute
G.I.S.T. (Global Institute of Sustainability Technologies)
