Bould Helps Trains Builders On Eco-Friendly Housing Construction
Sarah Moore — July 24, 2012 — Social Good
Bould is a social enterprise that provides green, LEED-certified building education and training programs to increase the number of people qualified to construct affordable and sustainable housing.
While the green housing market is becoming increasingly viable and lucrative, the startup costs and training required for constructing this type of dwelling is not easily attainable.
By partnering with organizations such as Habitat for Humanity, the company has access to hands-on training facilities to teach builders how to construct sustainable housing while also contributing to the building of such a home. Furthermore, through the collection of tuition fees, the company is able to donate a portion of its profits back to designers who construct green housing to help offset the initial startup costs required.
