Day 1 Course | Appraising Green Homes: Construction Methods & Trends

Tuesday, June 25th | 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.

This course day is designed to provide information on the rapidly expanding field of green building and introduce participants to all phases of green residential construction, from proper siting of a home to finish material selection. The class begins with an overview of the history of green building and then explains its five key elements in detail. This will provide learners with an in-depth understanding of green building in order to equip you to competently analyze these properties in appraisal assignments.

Day 2 Course | Appraising Green Homes: Valuation Techniques and Advanced Applications

Wednesday, June 26th | 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.

This course day is intended to provide appraisers with the information and resources needed to make well-supported and accurate valuation decisions for green properties. Day 2 course begins with an overview of the most current data available for the valuation of green homes, then presents the cost approach as it applies to these properties. Participants will then perform an in-depth analysis of the sales comparison approach and valuation techniques that can be applied to green properties.

The valuation techniques discussed on Day 1 and morning of Day 2 will be directly applied to appraisal case studies during the afternoon of Day 2. These case studies will provide tools that can be integrated into real-world practice. Upon passing an exam, the student will be able to use the designation of Accredited Green Appraiser.
