Informational Sessions Taking Place Now Through November

Want to enter the fast-growing green industry? For those who are interested, LaGuardia Community College is holding informational sessions now through November on its free training programs.

The CUNY Building Performance Lab is offering a free 3-day training for interested students to learn how to do energy benchmarking using the EPA’s Energy Star Portfolio Manager program.
