Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how the climate crisis and subsequent NY policies impact the building industry, insight into design and construction strategies, such as Integrative Design Process (IDP), and HPD-specific funding opportunities.
Successful completion of this comprehensive training is required to meet HPD funding requirements and comply with the New York City Overlay of the Enterprise Green Communities Criteria.
