Description:

In coordination with the Materials Resource Center, and its development of a materials library and database, this course seeks to provide methodologies for evaluating the sustainable aspects of traditional and new materials for design projects. Using the history and evolution of a global manufacturer into one of the most environmentally sustainable entities, this case study provides a framework to build upon the work done in the fall, reviewing samples and case studies with additional focus upon sustainability. In order to learn about Singular Focus, Multiple Attribute Focus, and Life Cycle Focus environmental certifications, the class uses the online study program created and provided by The Green Standard. When each class participant completes the study program, they are named a Green Specifier Accredited Professional.
