Green Roof Professional Accreditation to Launch in June

Green Roofs for Healthy Cities has announced that the first exam for its Green Roof Professional accreditation program will take place on June 5, 2009, at the group’s annual conference in Atlanta. The exam, which costs $395, will subsequently be available in Toronto, Seattle, Chicago, and New York in the fall of 2009. The exam will test participants on material covered in the group’s four training courses on the design and installation of green roofs. The exam is aimed at experienced vegetated-roof professionals and roofing contractors, architects, and landscape architects who are looking to expand their practices.
