LBM Journal’s New Program Uses Web-Based Videos and Testing to Certify Lumber Dealers The Certified Green Dealer™ Program is a new Web-based “distance learning” program that will certify the nation’s lumberyards and building material dealer locations as sources of information on green building and green products through online training and printed resource material. Lumber dealers are a primary source of information about products and “best practices” for builders and remodelers, and with this Program, dealers can now brand themselves as certified sources of information about good green building techniques and green products. Created under the auspices of LBM Journal, certification of lumber dealer locations is not affiliated with any particular national standards-setting organization, such as NAHB or USGBC’s LEED program. Instead, the certification is based entirely on demonstrated mastery by the lumber dealer personnel of “best practices” building science and green building basics. The short-subject videos (each “lunch-and-learn” length of under 25 minutes) have been produced in partnership with Building Media, and any lumberyard or building material dealer location can access the Certified Green Dealer™ Program with a browser and broadband connectivity to the Internet.
