Prepared for High-Performance Whether it is high-performance buildings or real estate professionals, BOMA Georgia remains focused on equipping today’s real estate managers and operations and maintenance professionals with the knowledge and skills to implement high-performance sustainable building principles, practices and investments at their properties.
