2026 Education Session Topics

Since 1993, the NW EcoBuilding Guild’s (NWEBG) Education Committee has been creating and hosting regular educational sessions that have empowered professionals and community members alike, to rethink how our built environment should be built, with a focus on practical solutions and progress.

Every year our Education Committee creates a survey to find out what people want to learn about and then coordinates an annual retreat to plan the next year’s sessions. The NW EcoBuilding Guild Education Survey results are in! The topics include:
