By the end of the course, the successful students are expected to:
- explain the differences between sustainable design and green design,
- list the main components of green design,
- describe the project management stages of green design,
- perform life-cycle energy analysis with a well-known simulation program,
- quantify the estimated water consumption of buildings by following preferred methodologies,
- develop suggestion on how to minimize the expendable resources, such as water energy, used in buildings,
- explain the relationship between design, construction and operation in terms of green design,
- discuss the cost implications of green buildings,
