Introduction to Sustainable Design:
A discussion of ecological design principles and broad scale urban approaches to sustainable developments.
A selection of case studies will be used to discuss various approaches to incorporating sustainable design objectives into architectural design. Discussion will include material selection, embodied energy, recycling initiatives, quality and durability as attitudes, implications of life cycle costing. |

Verifying and Marketing Green Buildings:
Selling environmental design requires quantification and data. We will look at some of the Green Building
tools and evaluation methods; including Green Building Advisor software, Athena Environmental Impact Estimator, ENVest, LEED, and Green Globe Standards. |

Lighting in Buildings:
Detailed look at the use of light in buildings from the point of view of issues of source, quantity, quality, human response, glare, room use, control, strategies, applications. The importance of natural lighting, both from an energy conservation point of view, as well as the aesthetic impact of natural light on interior architecture and the function of space. |
