Because our buildings have such a profound impact on our lives, the way we live is changing. The manner in which we use our buildings, their architectural design and how they are constructed necessitates a change to a more sustainable approach.
This class provides an interactive discussion where a panel of subject matter experts and you, the participants, will discuss renewable energy and high-performing green buildings. The class will conclude with a discussion of future building codes, standards, and government regulations, which will answer the question "What industry changes are pending?"
After this course, participants will be able to:
- Compare and explain the differences between the available green building rating systems.
- Identify and apply best practices and appropriate technology to
achieve Indoor Environment Quality and Water Efficiency goals.Identify
potential areas for increased use of recycled materials, ways to limit
