For the first time, books are available for many of the residential crafts -- including carpentry, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and facilities maintenance -- that are based on national standards developed by the nation's leading builders and educators. The result of a strategic partnership between the National Association of Home Builders, Home Builders Institute (HBI), and Delmar Learning, this new Residential Construction Academy series is the perfect way to introduce people of all ages to the building trades while guiding them to development of essential workplace skills. - Back cover.
