Strategies and Techniques (BEST) / Bioprocessing for Technicians
The Strategies Series of Sustainable Design offers two certificate programs: Strategies for the Use of Sustainable and Renewable Energy (SURE) and Best Practices in Environmental and Green Building Strategies and Techniques (BEST). Both certificate programs are offered by the Manufacturers Association of Central New York (MACNY) in cooperation with the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY-ESF).
Strategies for the Use of Sustainable and Renewable Energy (SURE)
In this certificate series, leading subject matter experts demonstrate how emerging renewable energy technologies impact our business and personal lives both today and in the future.

It is anticipated that participants will earn seven (7) Professional Development Hours (PDHs) or (.7) Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for each workshop he/she attends (a total of twentyone (21) PDHs or (2.1) CEUs for all three (3) workshops). Earned PDHs count toward the required New York State-mandated professional development training
Best Practices in Environmental and Green Building Strategies and Techniques
(BEST)
In this certificate series, subject matter experts demonstrate how to plan and implement a building project using a design charette process. A selected site in Syracuse serves as the setting for the reproduction/simulation of a recent project focused on green building technology. To earn a certificate, participants must attend four 1-day workshops. Individual workshop attendance is also permitted.
Workshops will apply to re-licensing for professionals. It is anticipated that participants will earn seven (7) Professional Development Hours (PDHs) or (.7) Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for each workshop he/she attends (a total of twenty-eight (28) PDHs or (2.8) CEUs for all four (4) workshops).
