Student Reviews

 

“There are a lot of people running around saying they’re energy experts that don’t know what they’re doing.  I had to educate myself on how to make buildings efficient without causing problems. I learned the science and physics in college but your course applied it to buildings.  Learning the science behind how buildings work gives you knowledge you can apply to countless situations.”

“If you had told me six months ago that today I would have the knowledge and skills to confidently investigate and diagnosis building performance problems I would not have known what “building performance” was.  Through the extensive building science and theory lectures, and especially the hands-on field sessions, Evergreen Building Science Training  has provided me the greatest of career opportunities – and the timing couldn’t be more appropriate.  This training is the real deal and I would absolutely recommend anyone, analyst or technician, to get trained and certified through Evergreen Building Science Training.”

“In my career of almost three decades as an energy engineer, I have taken dozens of courses in energy engineering and energy auditing.  Your residential auditing course is truly exceptional!”

“You [Richard Riegel Burbank] are a skilled, engaging teacher.  I love the metaphors!!  It’s an easy way to make that extra link in the mind that’s needed for people to get a foothold on a concept. The fact that I’m not falling asleep in class can attest to your excellence! College was very difficult in that respect...”
