Today, buildings demand 32% of the total world’s energy resources, and are the major contributor to climate change, resource depletion, waste, over-consumption, diminished human health, and other 21st century problems. This is a multidisciplinary course focus on LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) as the most widely used green building rating system in the world, and reviews its credit categories, prerequisites, requirements, total possible points, and four (4) levels of certifications. It will equip students to understand how different benchmarks and standards for green buildings have evolved over time and how they, as green buildings leaders, can participate in the future (addressing the UN Sustainable Development 3, 6, 7, 12, 15 Goals). The course will use a mix of various materials including but not limited to readings, videos, online discussions and case-based assignments to engage students more in learning and provide opportunities for them to move from consumers to creators. Successful course completion can prepare the student for LEED Green Associate exam or becoming a LEED Accredited Professional. Students who complete the course in good standing might receive funding to take the certification exam.
