nora Rubber Flooring Offers GREENGUARD Continuing Education Program

LAWRENCE, MA - Freudenberg Building Systems, Inc., manufacturer of nora rubber flooring, is pleased to offer the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute's (GEI) indoor air quality (IAQ) Continuing Education Program (CEU) "Helping Your Clients Maintain Good IAQ."

As a GREENGUARD certified manufacturer, nora was given the opportunity to train members of its sales force to become GEI CEU educators. The GEI program provides valuable instruction on the health and financial effects of poor IAQ, material selection and source control for good IAQ, the relationship between IAQ and LEED certification, the importance of third party certification in the product selection process and an overview of the GREENGUARD certification process.

"Facility managers and building owners are paying greater attention to indoor air quality and the advantages of green building practices," said Philipp Leferenz, president of Freudenberg Building Systems, Inc. "As a result, architects, designers and specifiers are called upon, with increasing frequency, to offer building designs that meet stringent new IAQ standards. In an effort to help the design community better understand IAQ, nora rubber flooring has reinforced its role as a valuable educational resource, investing time and money to train members of our sales force to present the GEI CEU program."

Participants who complete GEI CEU classes can receive continuing educations credits for a number of professional organizations, including the American Institute of Architects, the International Interior Design Association, the American Society of Interior Design and the Construction Specifications Institute.
