Materials And Resources - Green Building Technology

Materials and Resources - Green Building Perspective

What you'll learn

Recognize how LEED’s goals for product transparency and optimization are reflected in credit requirements

Recognize how the credit requirements support a life-cycle approach building material selection

Recognize synergies between multiple credits

Recognize how credit requirements lead to higher performing buildings and market transformation

Recognize how GSAS’s goals for product transparency and optimization are reflected in materials criterion requirements.

Requirements

This is a basic or all-level course focused on LEED v4 Materials and Resources credits and the GSAS materials criteria. Being familiar with green building principles through GSAS CGP D&B, GSAS GCP CM, GSAS CGP OP, LEED GA, LEED AP(BD+C), IGBC AP, GRIHA CP Certification, or any engineering degree will be helpful.

Description

Materials and Resources - Green Building TechnologyExplore the LEED v4 BD+C credits or criteria, which address the building material life-cycle and encourage existing building reuse and preservation, as well as the extraction, processing, transport, maintenance, and disposal of building materials. This course covers each prerequisite and credit in a credit-by-credit format, presenting technical requirements and strategies that work to achieve them.The Materials category is concerned with the conservation of natural resources and the use or reuse of materials and structure to have the least environmental impact. The construction sector has a significant impact on the environment. It accounts for the consumption of approximately 40% of the raw stone, gravel, and sand used worldwide annually, 25% of the raw timber and the associated embodied carbon emissions for such materials.Eco-friendly construction materials can contribute to reduce the adverse impacts on the environment, and create sustainable buildings promoting the health and well-being of occupants.The practice questions were prepared by a CEO and Founder of Beyond Smart Cities - Krishnaji Pawar.Specialized in developing sustainable design strategies for Green Building Certification Systems (LEED, GSAS, ACP, ISO14001:2015 etc.), Energy Management ,Energy Efficiency ,Energy Audit ,Building Commissioning,Environmental Impact Assessment & Environmental Management Systems.Key Learning ObjectivesRecognize how LEED’s goals for product transparency and optimization are reflected in credit requirements.Recognize how the credit requirements support a life-cycle approach to building material selection.Recognize synergies between multiple credits.Recognize how credit requirements lead to higher-performing buildings and market transformation.Who this course is for:People seeking an in-depth understanding of Materials and Resources categories in the LEED rating systemsA sustainability specialist or professional, including sustainability managers, sustainability engineers, facility and business managers, industrial engineers, supply chain professionals, utility officials, consultants, contractors, financial officers, and energy service company professionals, becomes more aware of and effective at identifying and implementing the best sustainable site strategies.Architects, urban planners, and landscape professionalsFor students who need a deeper insight into Materials and Resources with respect to LEED.Looking to gain employment in Sustainability OR Green Building Development ? This sector is booming.
