Green Design: Introduction to Indoor Environmental Air Quality (Based on LEED v4)
There is consensus among the majority of scientists that the climate of the earth is changing in the direction of higher temperatures and that some of the change is anthropomorphic (caused by human activity). This course is intended to address that portion of the human contribution to climate change that is related to energy use in buildings. At the conclusion of the course, you should be able to understand the ways buildings use energy and how buildings can be designed for high energy performance. You should be aware of activities and plans for improving building designs in the future. You will have an understanding of the requirements of the Energy and Atmosphere category of LEED v4 Building Design and Construction (BD+C).
