This unique course combines theory and practice. The aim of this course is to enable the student to evaluate, prepare and apply green building design strategies, techniques, and methods to green building attributes in furtherance of green building design and construction activities. It will enable participants to explore issues related to the built environment and sustainability and allow students to become familiar with a variety of practical techniques to address such issues in the design and making of buildings, environments, and landscapes. By the end of this course, students should be able to incorporate these ideas into further study and eventually into their practice of building science, architecture, interior architecture, landscape architecture and related disciplines.
