Mid-Cape Home Centers first in SE Mass to Achieve “Certified Green Dealer” Status

Published on Friday, May 09, 2008

Mid-Cape Home Centers is pleased to announce that it has achieved Certified Green Dealer™ status, the first Lumber and Building Supply Dealer in Southeastern Massachusetts to do so, after its South Dennis sales staff participated in voluntary educational training and testing on good green building techniques and green product choices in lumber and building materials.

The Certified Green Dealer Program was created under the auspices of LBM Journal, a national trade magazine serving the lumber and building material industry. The Program is based entirely on demonstrated understanding by lumber dealer personnel of “best practices” building science and green building basics.

This national training Program is the first of its kind in North America to provide lumber and material dealer personnel with educational information about green building basics, and it requires that participants view online video modules and take rigorous tests to demonstrate knowledge of green building techniques and green product choices.

“We’re very pleased to have achieved the Certified Green Dealer™ designation,” says Douglas Bohannon, President of Mid-Cape Home Centers. “Investing in this training for our sales staff helps show our commitment to helping our customers make good choices for the environment, and in doing our part to recommend more earth-friendly products.”
