High Performance methods and technologies are a priority in industry. The National Science Foundation Project: “Landscape, Operations, Construction, Architecture and Interior Design in Technical Education” (LOCATE) supports instructors in these sectors to develop their curriculum and update their courses in order to prepare students for careers in design, construction and maintenance.

The High Performance Institute will offer beginner/intermediate-level training focused on residential design, building construction, interior design, landscaping, performance codes, facilities maintenance and energy technologies. Experts will share insights and lead activities on a variety of technology issues, including:
-Home energy audits
-Alternative energy systems and energy/water efficiency
-Residential green building and remodeling
-Changing industry standards

The daily trainings, coupled with visits to green sites in the Boise metro region, will leave attendees prepared and inspired to integrate new concepts and practices into their curriculum.

High school, community college and university instructors in related PTE fields are invited to attend this free professional development opportunity. No prerequisites are required and CEUs can be arranged. A limited number of hotel rooms will be available for Wednesday June 19th and Thursday June 20th. Participants will receive all necessary course materials and a $100/day stipend upon completion of curriculum plan.
