The N.C. Clean Energy Technology Center (NCCETC) at N.C. State Uni- versity, with support from the Z.

Fundamentals of Photovoltaic Design and Installation training will be offered July 17-21, and Building Analyst training will be held September 25-29. The trainings will pro- vide a mix of classroom and hands-on experience, and once training is com- plete, participants can earn a nationally recognized professional certifi cation from the Building Performance Institute (BPI) and the NABCEP Associate designa- tion from the North American Board of Certifi ed Energy Practitioners (NABCEP). An online application process opened
March 21, with scholarship announce- ments anticipated in the fi rst week of June. The deadline for applying is May 15, 2017. The N.C.
