CAD 210 - Green Building Design (2)

Understanding the concepts of green building is essential for anyone in the architecture/construction/alternative energy industry. Many municipalities and non-profit organizations have developed rating systems to quantify the level of green building strategies used in construction projects. The best known rating system is LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design). In this course, the LEED green building rating system, design strategies, and building construction techniques for meeting those regulations will be incorporated into the students commercial and residential designs.
