Reducing the Complexities of Sustainable Design
Program Number: S2002
Level: 200
Credit Awarded: 1 LU: 1HSW
Sustainable design requires systems thinking in the complex balancing of multiple attribute, numerous requirements, and a variety of products selected on the basis of their impacts and benefits.
Summarize the 5 pillars of sustainability (waste reduction, water conservation, energy efficiency/C02, material health, social responsibility) in order to optimize material selection supportive of overall design.
Objectives
• Identify and select the green building standards and environmental certifications/declarations that help achieve your sustainability goals.
