The intent of this course is to provide an overview of concepts in green building and sustainability practices, as related to site and building construction. We will discuss technical aspects of building energy usage and how past, current, and potential future processes are used in providing comfort and energy management for the occupants. We will also be looking at a popular internationally recognized rating system (LEED), focusing on the Building Design and Construction (LEED BD+C) specialization. Topics to be covered include: review on architectural and site plan reading, site selection and development, energy and water efficiency, appropriate applications of emerging technology, indoor air and environment quality, lighting choices (interior and site), and sustainability. .
