Laney College: BEST Center Redesign

http://bestctr.org

The Building Efficiency for a Sustainable Tomorrow (BEST) Center promotes state-of-the-art building technician education at publicly-funded 2- and 4-year colleges through the dissemination of curriculum, research and best practices for managing energy efficient commercial buildings. Sponsored by Advanced Technological Education grants from the National Science Foundation.

The main goal of the site is to be a user-friendly robust repository of information and resources related to building technician training, and to share this curriculum with instructors and administrators throughout the US.

Users will login to access curriculum. A WordPress Custom Post Type will be created for entering and displaying Curriculum, and a custom reporting dashboard will be developed to track downloads and produce monthly reports.
