    Description:
    X402.1 (1 semester unit in Architecture)

    This course presents a value system for selecting environmentally preferable products. You learn where to find green building materials and how to ensure the most non-toxic application. You learn about life-cycle analysis, cost, sourcing, energy efficiency, off-gassing, green specifications, value engineering, and third-party certifications. Activities include guest speakers, case studies, and field trips to local showrooms. You analyze award-winning environmental design and learn how to apply the triple-bottom-line approach to materials selection.
