NAHB's National Green Builder Verification Training
to Become an Accredited Green Building Verifier
Speaker Bio
Jeff Taggart
National Green Building Certification Training Manager
Currently, Mr. Taggart is the lead trainer for the National
Green building Certification Program. Jeff is training, both
on-line and in the classroom, a new national network of
accredited 3rd party inspectors (verifiers) to be a resource for
builders interested in certifying new or remodeled buildings
under the national program.
Jeff has also managed the NHQ Certified Trade Contractor
Program, and has been involved with the program since it
transitioned from a research project to a national program,
almost five years ago. Jeff was responsible for managing a team
of consultants, client relations and program development. Jeff
consults with trade contractors to implement quality assurance
systems to increase their productivity and reduce callbacks.
Previously, Jeff participated in a train-the-trainer project in
Central America and the Caribbean where the Research Center
trained builders of low-income housing in disaster mitigation
construction.
Prior to joining the Research Center Jeff worked extensively in
teaching and training both in the United States and abroad. He
earned a MA from Georgetown University in Latin American
Studies/Economics in 1999.
