Los Angeles County Green Building Program Training

These new standards help create more sustainable developments and ensure that California stays on the cutting edge of environmental protection and climate change mitigation.

These new standards can be challenging to understand and builders, developers, archi-tects and landscapers need to know how to meet the new requirements.

To help the development community, the County is sponsoring a series of free half-day training courses designed to give devel-opment professionals the tools and informa-tion needed to comply with the County and State Green Building requirements.
