We will explore the issues of sustainability from the perspective of the built environment, our history of construction and expansion, and buildings and how they interact with the natural environment. Students will be exposed to issues of human impacts on natural systems through the built environment and the variety of disciplines that are working to create a more sustainable future. This course is one of the five courses that comprise the Green Building Professional Development Series. For more details about this program visit www.umassulearn.net/green.
