ENVI 340B - Environmental Assessment

Institution:

Westminster College (Salt Lake City)

Subject:

Environmental Studies

Description:

Environmental assessments consist of a variety of tools used to evaluate environmental measures for homes, businesses, governments and communities. What are these assessments and how are they conducted? When is a given assessment appropriate or required? What is the scientific basis for these assessments? In this course we will learn about sustainability assessments, energy efficiency evaluations, carbon footprint analyses and the regulatory framework in which these evaluations are used. Once an assessment is complete, how can this information be applied? How can environmental assessments be used to promote the financial well-being of an organization? Additionally, we will use the tools we learn during the semester to conduct an environmental assessment for a local non-profit organization.
