CHICAGO-The Institute of Real Estate Management has developed an online course geared toward educating real estate managers, owners and brokers about sustainable practices. The course teaches cost-effective ways to meet the increased demand for “green” real estate with a focus on environmental sustainability and economic prosperity. The self-guided class costs $125 for members and $155 for nonmembers, and offers open enrollment, which allows people to stop and restart as needed to complete the six-hour course at their own pace.

“The goal is to have a greater understanding of what makes a green building,” says Steven Ring, director of client solutions for Cushman & Wakefield and an IREM member who contributed to the development of the course. “That term is being thrown around a lot but there really area specific benchmarks and standards that make a green building. There’s a lot of data and information about sustainability practices that this course sums up into a day.”
