The Green Mechanical Council and GreenPlumbersUSA recently announced
a collaborative partnership to speed up the installation of green
educational programs to the construction industry and more effectively
communicate the plumbing and mechanical contracting industry's efficiency
programs to utilities, businesses and consumers.

technicians, and industry leaders in environmentally sound mechanical systems
for residential and commercial use. They currently offer 13 different
educational programs, covering everything from energy auditing to geothermal,
