This course will help property and building managers, maintenance staff and administrators integrate green asset management practices into existing operations and maintenance plans. You will gain tools, practices and tips to increase the quality of a property while reducing the negative effects of energy and water use as well as waste production.

The course covered building construction and maintenance with the environment in mind. Gabriel was helpful, friendly and fun, and I was supported all the way. The last 27 years with Entre Nous Femmes Housing Society I have taken many courses offered by the BCNPHA. I can easily say I learn so much, and whenever I have a question, each instructor was ready to answer. Do not hesitate to sign up for any course you can, you will love it!
