Edgerton, WI June 21, 2010—Nelson-Young Lumber Co. is pleased to announce that it has achieved Certified Green Dealer™ status after its sales staff participated in educational training and testing on good green building techniques and green product choices in lumber and building materials.
The Certified Green Dealer Program was created under the auspices of LBM Journal, a national trade magazine serving the lumber and building material industry. The Program is based entirely on demonstrated understanding by lumber dealer personnel of “best practices” building science and green building basics.
This national training Program is the first of its kind in North America to provide lumber and material dealer personnel with educational information about green building basics, and it requires that participants view online video modules and take rigorous tests to demonstrate knowledge of green building techniques and green product choices.
“We’re very pleased to have achieved the Certified Green Dealer™ designation,” says John Nelson, of Nelson-Young Lumber Co. “Investing in this training for our sales staff helps us help our customers make good choices for the environment. We also are able to educate our customers about ‘best practices’ in building techniques so that their building projects are both energy-efficient and make the best use of our resources.”
