About this course

The appraisal of the high-performance (green) residential property offers a challenge to appraisers because this type of construction is new to many markets. Current valuation techniques are capable of handling sustainability issues, but appraisers must understand the new building science and identify methods that will help them apply current methods. This course builds on the knowledge base from Introduction To Green Buildings: Principles & Concepts. Case studies will give appraisers the chance to practice their skills in real-world situations.
