D.C. officials hope to give District students and construction workers in training a leg up for future job openings with a new curriculum that addresses environmental trends in the exploding green building industry.
The course is a primer on green building – the effort to design, build and operate facilities that use less energy and place less strain on the environment than traditional practices. It is geared, officials said, to the future “lunch bucket” construction worker who will need at the very least a basic understanding of environmentally friendly construction practices.
