TRAINING FOR ENERGY EFFICIENT BUILDINGS OF THE FUTURE EMPOWERS STUDENTS AT SOUTHWESTERN COLLEGE

By Walter G. Meyer

December 4, 2012 (San Diego)--In what is hoped will be a model for future trainings and a revolution in architecture, Southwestern College recently conducted a class called “Smart Building Technician.” The name doesn’t begin to do justice to the depth of the material covered in the class, which was made possible through a grant to UnitedGREEN from SDG&E arranged by Heartland Coalition board member Chuck Brands.
