Our GPRO Plumbing course is a Green Professional Building Skills Training (GPRO) course that is offered by George Brown College Continuing Education in partnership with the Urban Green Council and includes the GPRO certificate exam. This is the Urban Green Council description: "By improving water efficiency in buildings, plumbers play a particularly important role in the high-performance building process and help conserve a precious natural resource. GPRO Plumbing (GPRO PL) teaches participants about the economic advantages of water-efficient technologies and practices. Participants leave with knowledge they can apply to any plumbing job the very next day. GPRO PL is ideal for a range of professionals in the plumbing industry including subcontractors, installers and technicians. Students learn the key differences between green and conventional plumbing products and work practices; improving water distribution systems; how to interpret Energy Guide and water use rating systems; maintenance issues on common green fixtures, appliances, and systems; retrofitting existing buildings with water-efficient technologies; the plumber’s role in the building commissioning process; and green bidding issues for plumbers."
