SUMMARY:AI for Construction Trades & Green Tech
DESCRIPTION:The phone rings while you're under a sink\, up on a roof\, or
  hooking a car on the shoulder of Route 128\, and the job goes to whoever
  picks up first. Estimates go out late\, invoices wait for Sunday night\,
  and the office help you'd hire is hard to find: construction alone needs
  349\,000 more workers in 2026 (Associated Builders and Contractors).\n\n
 That's Broken Leg Syndrome. Every trades business stands on three legs\, 
 People\, Systems\, and Money\, and when one cracks\, the whole business l
 imps.\n\nThis free\, hands-on Zoom workshop fixes the limp. Find your bro
 ken leg with the Broken Leg Diagnostic™. Pick your hire from five Digital
  Helpers (Patch the Dispatcher\, Tim the Estimator\, Biddy the Bid & Prop
 osal Writer\, Bookie the Bookkeeper\, Promise the Promoter) and build it 
 live in about 15 minutes on Base44 with The RenegAIDE Method™\, with brea
 kout rooms for hands-on tech help. Already use ChatGPT\, Claude\, or Gemi
 ni? Your Digital Helper Work Order works there too. You leave with a work
 ing Digital Helper and your Repair Plan.\n\nFor plumbers\, HVAC and heat 
 pump techs\, electricians\, solar installers\, locksmiths\, towing operat
 ors\, contractors\, remodelers\, property managers\, energy auditors\, gr
 een tech founders\, and trades educators. No tech skills required.\n\nWha
 t to bring: a laptop or desktop and a strong internet connection. You wil
 l build live\, and a phone will not be enough.\n\nMeet your host: (Dr.) B
 eth Griffith has worked in the trades and construction since she was a te
 enager. She is a Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor (HIC)\, Buildi
 ng Analyst Professional (BAP)\, Green Infrastructure Professional (GIP)\,
  LEED Green Associate\, and certified Base44 advanced builder instructor 
 who built RetrofitIQ\, a software-as-a-service platform for the trades bu
 ilt specifically for one-to-four family decarbonization. A featured AI sp
 eaker at the 2026 Mass Black Expo\, a 2026 Boston Tech Week Hackathon win
 ner\, and accepted into Harvard Business School Foundry\, she is also Pre
 sident and co-founder of NEPAI\, a veteran\, and Boston born\, raised\, a
 nd rooted. Hosted by Renewable Renegades and RenegAIDE Collective.\n\nFro
 m Beth: I started in the trades as a teenager\, a handywoman helper on my
  uncle's properties. I learned early that a property is a big responsibil
 ity: safe\, affordable\, quality housing for families\, children\, and el
 ders\, and an income for the person who keeps it standing. My dad\, the B
 ajan MacGyver of handyman work\, taught me the rest: how to be resourcefu
 l\, keep costs down\, and think outside the box. That's the spirit of thi
 s workshop.\n\nPeople First. AI Second. Impact Always.\n\nSource: Associa
